I think that if your goal is accuracy as well as humor, HMS needs to be replaced with SLNS.

Well? The names work just fine if commanded by Pavel Young or Elvis Santino. Accuracy and humor.

In at least these two cases, the crew already knew that the Admiralty had abandoned them aboard His Miserable Ship.

Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense

SLNS INEFFECTIVE
SLNS INTERMITTENT (blows a node every other Thursday)
SLNS IMBIBE (captain is an alcoholic)
SLNS INEPT
SLNS INEVITABLE (captain: Joseph Buckley)

They're designed as standby evacuation ships for distant naval stations. Hancock and Grendelsbane could have used a few, and Honor definitely would have wanted a few at Hades.
