HMS Abercrombie

Three ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Abercrombie, after General Sir Ralph Abercromby, but using the variant spelling of his name:

HMS Abercrombie (1807) was a 74-gun third rate, previously the French Hautpoult. She was captured in 1807 and sold in 1816.
HMS Abercrombie (1915) was an Abercrombie-class monitor. She was originally planned as the Farragut, then renamed Admiral Farragut, M1 and General Abercrombie, before being renamed HMS Abercrombie before her launch in 1915. She was sold in 1927.
HMS Abercrombie (F109) was a Roberts-class monitor launched in 1942 and scrapped in 1954.
