Class 50s have a long and proud history of being associated with Royal Navy warships from their naming in the early-1980s onwards.
50049 is named for the fleet maintenance base HMS Defiance, attached to HMNB Devonport, the largest naval base in Western Europe. It comprised a sprawling complex and the veteran submarine depot ship Forth, which was scrapped in 1985. Before that, Defiance was the name of twelve warships and one torpedo school, established in 1884 from the 91-gun second-rate frigate Defiance 1861. It was subsequently augmented by the frigate Perseus (HMS Defiance II). The Apollo-class protected cruiser Spartan became HMS Defiance II in 1921 and was joined in 1922 by the Comus-class corvette Cleopatra (HMS Defiance III) and the iron-hulled frigate Inconstant (HMS Defiance IV). In 1931, the original Defiance, Defiance II, and Defiance III were all decommissioned, at which point the Diadem-class protected cruiser Andromeda became HMS Defiance, Inconstant became Defiance II, and the submarine tender Vulcan became HMS Defiance III. These three were decommissioned in 1955 when the base moved ashore and was paid off in 1959. Complicated, isn't it?
50044 is named for five ships of the Royal Navy called HMS Exeter. At the time she was named, the contemporary HMS Exeter was a brand-new Type 42 destroyer, launched in 1979 and scrapped in 2009. The locomotive however was named for the veteran York-class cruiser. This Exeter came to fame in the Battle of the River Plate on 13 December 1939, when she bravely drew the fire of Capt. Langsdorff's panzerschiff Admiral Graf Spee to allow Commodore Harwood's Ajax and Achilles to close the range and force Graf Spee to disengage. The severely-damaged Exeter managed to limp to the Falklands where she was repaired with plate salvaged from Brunel's wrecked steam ship Great Britain; Graf Spee was scuttled in Montevideo on 17 December 1939, while Langsdorff shot himself that night. In drydock for much of 1940, Exeter was transferred to the Far East in late-1941, joining the outnumbered ABDACOM forces in February 1942. At the Battle of the Java Sea on 27 February that month, she found herself crippled - only thanks to the efforts of the brave destroyer Electra, which was sunk covering her withdrawal, did she escape at all - and was hunted to destruction two days later, when she and her consort HMS Encounter were cornered while attempting to run for Australia by the Japanese heavy cruisers Myōkō, Ashigara, Nachi, and Haguro, and their destroyer screen.
50007 is named for five ships of the Royal Navy, the most recent of which was a Colossus-class dreadnought battleship. Commissioned in 1910, HMS Hercules saw action at Jutland, but most of the rest of her war consisted of uneventful routine patrols and she was scrapped in 1921.
On 50007's other side is the number 50034, which carries the nameplates Glorious. There has only ever been one HMS Glorious; a Courageous-class battlecruiser - or 'large light cruiser' if Admiral Jackie Fisher is to be believed - she was converted to an aircraft carrier between the wars, and fought during the Norwegian campaign. While steaming back to Britain, she fell victim to the idiocy of her captain, Guy D'Oyly-Hughes - who sailed his carrier and her escorts, Acasta and Ardent, directly into the German battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. In a short and decidedly one-sided naval action, the three British ships were all sunk, with bold Acasta having managed to claim a single torpedo hit on Scharnhorst.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph F. Dunford, Jr., met with his Australian counterpart Chief of the Defence Force Air Chief Marshal Mark Binskin, in Washington D.C., April 20, 2018.
The two leaders discussed a wide range of issues, including the global threat of terrorism and security in the Pacific region. The visit also served to strengthen the U.S.-Australia alliance as the two countries increase collaboration in counter-terrorism efforts and regional capacity building among other areas of mutual interest.
General Dunford hosted an Armed Forces Full Honors Arrival ceremony at Joint Base Myer-Whipple Field following the meeting, where he presented Air Chief Marshal Binskin with the Legion of Merit for his dedicated support of the U.S.-Australia alliance, which directly led to improved security in the Indo-Pacific theater.
The U.S. and Australia are celebrating 100 years of "Mateship" and together form an alliance that plays a critical role in maintaining peace and stability in the region.
