HMS Ettrick
Four ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Ettrick after the Scottish river, Ettrick Water.
- HMS Ettrick (1903), a River-class destroyer, launched in 1903. Her bows were blown off when she was torpedoed by German submarine UC-61 in 1917, and she was not repaired. She was sold for breaking in 1919.
- HMS Ettrick was the Mersey-type Admiralty trawler Samuel Jameson,[Note 1] launched in 1918 and renamed Ettrick in 1920. She was sold in 1926, renamed Loughrigg and served during World War II as Phyllisia.
- HMS Ettrick was to have been the name of the Flower-class corvette HMS Tamarisk, but she was renamed before her launch in 1941.
- HMS Ettrick (K254), a River-class frigate launched in 1943 and lent to the Royal Canadian Navy between 1944 and 1945. She was broken up in 1953.
