You know what the trick of a long life is, Sharpe? Stay out of range.

Sharpe's Trafalgar (2000)

If you capture a ship, Sharpe, you keep the old name unless it's really obnoxious. Nelson took the Franklin at the Nile, an eighty gun thing of great beauty, but the navy will be damned if it has a ship named after a traitorous bloody Yankee so we call her the Canopus now.
