HMS Marshal Ney

HMS Marshal Ney was a Royal Navy Marshal Ney-class monitor constructed in the opening years of the First World War. Laid down as M13, she was named for the French field marshal of the Napoleonic Wars Michel Ney. After service in World War I she became a depot ship and then a stokers’ training ship. Between 1922 and 1947 she was renamed three times, becoming successively Vivid, Drake and Alaunia II. She was broken up in 1957.
