YYYAAARRRRRR...a good idea matey...record their names with pride for most of em be rottin hulks at the bottom of the oceans. Twill take some research but two I can remember what I sailed on the virtual Seven Seas are:
The Big Brenda - A Massive ship named after a Massive Lady
The Belinda Carlisle
YArrrr...
Portsmouth has two main shipping works. The Argghhh Shipping Works and the similarly named and manufactured Hrrrggga Shipping Works.
The Arggghh Shipping works is responsible for the well known best seller The Arghhh 9000, while Hrrrggga (totally bereft of original ideas) has countered with the (slightly cheaper copy cat) 'Hhhrrga 009'.
Portsmouth is also under competition from those Korean 'Hyun-dog' galleons, complete with plastic decking, rubber masts and a 5 year warantee. Problem is they tend to melt during intense sea battles.
YArrr. Oi be likin your idea too matey.

Oi think ye's got them confused with the 'Sia' brand.... Hyundai builds a solid ship:

Brother Cuzzen might remember a cook what used to sail aboard an earlier Korean model:

Aye, I've think ye's got the ship's name right, 'twas appropriate for an ironclad that carries five different types o' cannons:

but mayhaps the cook's name is wrong? No Un Yunz wouldn't last long on a Korean ship.
ARR! Uh be cowrecked , No Un Yunz wuz replaced by Mo Gar Lec.
AAARRRRGH...Bein 'Cowrecked'...Be that when, in most hunfortunate circumstances, a large Cow falls on Ye? ;D
ARGH! I dun misspelt cowreck.

ARR! Ye be cowrecked , No Un Yunz wuz replaced by Mo Gar Luc.
Aye, I remember ol' Mo Gar Luc... Mani Manul, they used to call 'im!
I a'in't been cow-wrecked but I've gotten quite sh@twrecked drinking rum in the Shipwreck (bar in El Nido). Stumblin' home is much trickier in a typhoon, especially with no lights past midnight and half the town flooded out...
ARGH! Eyes been shanghaied many a toime for the same reesons.
Oi'd like to register me own fleet, though it be small.
Me lead ship is the Piratical!, while me second in command runs the Lady Calico.
ARRR! Thank Ye Matey,yer contrubushun be noted.
While eyes be heer isle make note of the" Eat My Pantaloons" , a 20 gun frigate in Black Barts fleet ,had a loverly dinner dere wonce.
Ye's can list Darlica an' I as bein' the new pirate chefs aboard the same ship... but Oi's dunno the name. 'Tis said it's painted on the bottom o' the hull, and those what asks get to find out first-hand during the keelhauling.
The captain goes by Captain Kitty, though.... there be strange creatures aboard, but they permitted passage to this here monk.
YARRRR! Matey ,Ye an' Darlica be noted as memmers of the Mystery Ship . I be sendein Mad Will to inspect YARR! ship soimetimes soon . Arrgh!

Gah, what be piratin' come to?
Hey! It be quite common where oi comes from. Lookit what they made me do ter me last ship!
Oi just don't want that same sorta thing ter happen ter me 'ere!

OI wunders if'n a ship that flies the bloody badger bain't fated to be named "The Ragtail". I've heered rumours it be only appearin' at reglar intervals according ter the phase o' the moon, loike. Oi heered it's crew be proper ferocious when that crimson flag wi' a rare device, the dreaded bloody badger be flyin'... :yar:
Aye, could be.... Oi've been broadsided by the Ragtail a time or three...
:ROFL:
'Twas only spared because the hold was full of chocolate and soft words.
Oi've 'eard there be a contingent of ships flyin' the Bloody Badger in Mesopotamia (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6295138.stm).

Well, we'd best make note of the Purple Primrose, out of Port O Spain. Tis the hardest partyin ship in all the seven cyber seas and our cabin boy be the best lookin' by a league a league, so can he fill out a pair of sequinned shorts to make yer eyes weep.
I've been in port for the past little while to do some urgent repairs ye know. We had to put in a new galley after the last riot on board. Them karaoke nights aboard the Purple Primrose can turn right ugly at a moment's notice, tis true, and all the chairs n tables was trashed and thrown overboard last month and the mirror ball quite destoyed.
We are almost completed with our refurbishments now how sum 'diver and will soon be throwing a galley warming party, so you'd best be warning those ye hold dear to stay away from the docks next Wednesdee evenin' if ye value their acquaintance.
YARR ! TangARRra ! Ye an ye Purple Primrose be noted en logged ,tank be ta ye fur ye prompt reply ,

Ahoy anyone hierin'?
I'm a lass with good kithen skills (no fisheadstews though), I can also write (a littlebit), and know many ways t' use a cleaver (I still have me own, it's always tucked in t' belt). I know a fair bit about sailin' and I ain't afraid t' fight, actually I'm prone t' pick fights with grumpy roughnecks but as a any good captain you'll know how t' use that (it's very good for connin').
I got tossed overboard in a fight over at me old ship together with t' Captain... She got aft on board, but I got rescued by some fishermen (after havin' t' show some leg t' convince them I wasn't a mermaid) If they miss me they fetch me I'll leave a message here in Portsmouth for t' Monk. T' Monk he was nowhere t' be seen durin' t' figth, I guess he's still aboard, they all fear his explodin' kitchamajigs in t' gally so he be allstarboard.
With hopes o' a swift reply."
Yours Arrghly!

Yarr Deadwaters , Ye be noted as a " matey without a berth " , untils ye find wot shup ye be shining fer .
Bon Chance ! , Keepers of The ARRchives
(Dear Darlica , This is an example of an interactive thread where anyone can be a Keeper of tyhe ARRchives ...all one need do to reply is a basic " hello we see you and your ship ...we have it in ink on parchment " ( in your case ...shipwrecked ) , bye , bug off , Cya...etc.....i]
Could be problematic Darla me dear. No fish head stew ye sez! That could cause a mutiny.
Bein' able to write, very worrisome. I'd be keepin that piece of information to meself 'twere I you, them pirates be a superstitious lot.
Can ye play the accordion? I may be able to find ye a berth on The 'Primrose if that be the case. Toothless Kate's got the arthritis again.

YAAAarrr HAAAarrrr HAAAarrrr......
Cap'n Kitty bin too busy to watch the ship. So's were hirin' out again eh? Oi'll have to find anothere bottle o' the Captain's Delight to bribe on with. ;) Ye knows the cap'n'll run a loose ship if they falls for that one. ;D
O' course, Oi's could probably hire back on to me old ship....
Oi moight be hirin', an' lyttrusea be held in high esstregard on moi ship...tends ter 'elp with th' skulduggery an' sneakin'...
but Oi'm not sure Oi'd be wantin' ter steal away Cap'n Kitty's crew...she moight be a vengeful sort.
Ahoy Captains!
Oi don't know how t' play t' accordion so Oi guess Oi'm out o' question for Captain Tanguerra.
As Oi said Oi usaly don't make fisheadstew (it was consiredered thought of as biological warfare were Oi took me cookin' classes, Oi believe our headmaster once sailed on t' wrong side o' Black Bart's ship...) However Oi make a mean fishtail soup that be very good for avoidin' t' scurvy. Lots o' lemon an' potatoes an' chilli.
T' Captain Jackdaw: Oi don't think thar will be any trouble with Captain Kitty t' ship sailed o' with me and some o' t' rats that port t' ship durin' t' fire was port behind (t' rats was mighty angry until they found a box o' cheese that must have been thrown overboard in t' confusion). T' fire on t' decks be now put out Oi believe but t' last thin' Oi saw was some black smoke and flyin' critters which Oi believe to be bears circulatin' t' mast...
Anyhow Oi'll sended her a message and resived t' answer that it was OK.
Oi'll look fore t' sail with ye'.
Yers Arrghly!

Glad ter 'ave yer aboard, as we've been operatin' wiv a skellyton crew th' past month er more. Me last crew mutinied, and left me aboard t' ship when they decided ter stay on an oilan' off somewheres, so I were left wi' th' prisoners down below what th' former crew 'adn't taken vittles to fer the past two months or more...they were none too pleased wi' me old crew, an' they voiced no objections when Oi offered t' 'ire 'em on ter replace said crew. They don' eat much, but they do be moighty slow workers.
Yrs. etc,
Cap'n Mag "Jack" Dawes
Ach, Cap'n Kitty's crew sunk the ship again..... Oi's a mite tired of swimming.
Will cook fer passage to the next port, an' p'raps a longer berth, if so intended. Oi's don't take a cut o' the plunder for meself, bein' a monk an all, and Oi's got some intaaaarrrggresting skills that kin be useful in a tight combat situwa senaryo in a fight.

Oh sorry fergots who I wuz speakin to
Badger? A tad gamey if ye's roast it, but quite lovely curried.
Taddeus Bellinghouse at your service. Explorer, epicure, naturalist and captain of the Allium.
Does the Benbow serve pulled pork sandwich, your Sauciness? It's hard to get a good one on land, no matter how much they pull it, it never tastes as long as th' ones we eat at sea....
Dear Bellinhouse,
The magistrate 'as shut us down on more than one occasion for the pulled pork around here-- of many various kinds.
However- if ye steps round back and knows the secret knock the cook'll let you in the back door of the kitchen and led you to the 'tea room in the basement' -- members and guests only and we'll see what happens.
the news cooks name be Margery Lovett- she mos recently had a pie shop over in Bell Yard but had to move quickly so we'ves 'ired 'er on.
I av heard of her celebrated meat pies. There's bin talk, though, that the Foode Critic of the Daily Courant as not bin seen since writing an unfavorable review.
Ahoy pieces o nine...how be the pies over here?
Yarrr! On the whole, oi tries to avoid pie (hunless they be the poncy French Silk variety). It be the safest course orf action, especially as oi av eard terrifyin rumors about the loine of Fish Head Stewe Pot Pies yer plannnin to launch on a hunsuspectin public...
But to reply proper-loike to yer question, the Monastery be more civilized and intellekshul than...other places. (Oi am still eagerly awaitin' the arrival of Mead at the Benbow.)
Aye...there be a foine class o monks at the monastery...the Pirates be a bunch o scurvy blaggards mind ye.
