So you are quite well known !!

I hav done some research and by strange co incidence, there were 10 warships called HMS Penelope. That was because a different coded messages were sent during the war to different parts of Britan. The places decipered them wrong and they all were named Penelope. They were thinking of makin 1 out of pykreet.
