There are two RN tables.Is there a difference or was the same table uploaded twice?By the way, one nickname missed - HMS Royal Sovereign, "Tiddly Quid"

Two different tables. You'll need to save them under different names (ie, RN1 and RN2).

They are, or were, the same table uploaded twice. Not sure how it happened, but I have deleted one.Thanks for bringing it to my attention!CinC

A "Tiddly ship" was an extra-smart ship, the best, the smartest, the top-notch ship of the fleet.A "Quid" is a pound, and a Sovereign is (apart from being a monarch) the name of a British gold coin of face value £1.Hence HMS Royal Sovereign was the Tiddly Quid.Information from "BATTLESHIP ROYAL SOVEREIGN and Her Sister Ships" by Peter C Smith.
