Named after the River Trent, HMS Trent has been a name held by many British warships, including:

  • HMS Trent, frigate, captained by John Lindsay during the capture of Havana in 1762
  • HMS Trent, 17-gun sloop, ordered in November 1860 as one of the Perseus class, selected for conversion to an ironclad, renamed HMS Research
  • HMS Trent, carried Confederate delegates during the American Civil War and was hence intercepted and boarded by the Union navy, nearly triggering near war between the British Empire and the Union.
  • HMS Trent (K243), River class frigate, transferred to the Royal Indian Navy April 1946 and renamed Kurki, later renamed Investigator and made into a survey vessel. [1]
