HMS Shakespeare

Two ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Shakespeare, after poet and playwright William Shakespeare:


 * HMS Shakespeare (1917) was a Thornycroft type destroyer leader launched in 1917. She was handed over to the breakers in part-payment for RMS Majestic (1914) in 1936, and was scrapped.
 * HMS Shakespeare (P221) was an S-class submarine launched in 1941 and sold in 1946.
