An insect by another name

[QUOTE=zoot horn rollo;1654165]You would have thought so, but it’s not an error. She was HMS Cicala and was a member of the Insect Class.

We are both right! Cicada is an insect type in English. Cicala is the same insect type in Italian! Maybe the Admiralty used the wrong name not being entymologists by trade.:eek:
Source ‘Janes fighting ships of World War 1’ and ‘The Chambers Dictionary’ (not Morocco bound).;)

There is an error in the spelling of the vessel shewn i.e Cicala should be Cicada an insect.:)
