Slightly OT, I wasnt able to find "vansit" in the dictionary. Anyone know what it means? [&:][:D]
Do what? Name them after things? [&:] We're hardly alone in that you know old boy. Unless you chaps have started making up words to name your warships?
Lord Vansittart was chancellor of the exchequer in the 19th century. The destroyer was named after the first ship which, I believe, retained her name when she was taken up by the Royal Navy.
