HMS Cameleon

Seven ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Chameleon, or the archaic variants HMS Cameleon or HMS Camelion, after the Chameleon:


 * HMS Chameleon (1777) was a 14-gun sloop launched in 1777. She foundered in 1780.
 * HMS Chameleon (1780) was a 16-gun brig-sloop, formerly the civilian ship Hawke. She was purchased in 1780 and sold in 1783.
 * HMS Cameleon (1795) was a 16-gun brig-sloop launched in 1795 and broken up in 1811. Because Cameleon served in the navy's Egyptian campaign between 8 March 1801 and 2 September, 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.
 * HMS Cameleon (1816) was a 10-gun Cherokee class brig-sloop launched in 1816 and sold in 1849.
 * HMS Camelion (1860) was a Camelion class screw sloop launched in 1860 and sold in 1883.
 * HMS Cameleon (1910) was an Acorn class destroyer launched in 1910 and sold for scrapping in 1921.
 * HMS Chameleon (J387) was an Algerine class minesweeper launched in 1944 and broken up in 1966.
