There have been, depending on your definitions and sources, around eleven other vessels in the Royal or Commonwealth navies called either STAR or STARR and one called STAR XVI.  Since naval vessels of the Commonwealth and many other countries trace their ancestry through all previous vessels with the same name and inherit Battle Honours from those vessels, they are part of our history.
