There is 1 active ship in the royal navy that has defeated an enemy warship in combat.

Name the ship.

The Victory is still commissioned if that is what you were thinking of.

The same would apply to the US navy incidentally. Only the Constitution has sunk anything of the active ships.

Jergul:

Surely some of the Iranian ships they hit were done by a missile from a surface combatant.

And you have that unarmed ship they sunk with a sub.

The US Constitution is basically a museum piece.

I think I toured it as a kid.

I also slept over on the USS Massachusetts and toured a submarine (seawolf? Idk I was like 8)

Anyway? Constitution literally fought in the war of 1812....

So, I did some digging.

There is no Navy currently with more than 1 active victorious vessel that is publicly known.

That publicly known is doing some heavy lifting as apparently most Navies do not publicly disclose what exact vessel did what.
