HMS Ulysses

Four British Royal Navy ships have been called HMS Ulysses:


 * Ulysses, 44-gun fifth rate launched in 1779 and sold in 1816. Because Ulysses served in the navy's Egyptian campaign (8 March to 2 September 1801), her officers and crew qualified for the clasp "Egypt" to the Naval General Service Medal, which the Admiralty issued in 1847 to all surviving claimants.
 * Ulysses was briefly the name of a destroyer, launched on 18 August 1913, and renamed to Lysander  on 30 September 1913.
 * Ulysses, a modified R-class destroyer launched in 1917 and sunk in a collision in 1919
 * 'Ulysses', a World War II U-class destroyer launched in 1943, reclassified as a frigate in 1953, and sold for scrap in 1979.

HMS Ulysses was also the name of a fictional light cruiser in a novel of the same title by Alistair MacLean
