HMCS Morden.

So I think I might name my boat the Morden.
Update.

I'm making serious progress on my boat. I need to post the pictures I've taken, plus take new ones, but I can't find my camera atm.

I've got my brass prop installed, custom made brass rudder installed, motor installed (English made motor), Some of the wood/balsa deck installed,

In regards to the name of the boat, I'm still thinking of the Morden, but she has 2 masts (one forward of the bridge) and her 4inch gun doesn't have the gun shield.

I could do the HMS Arbutus (killer of the U-70 or U-47) or the HMCS Chilliwack (2 u-boat kills)
