HMS Defiant
The HMS Defiant was a British Ship of the Line from the 18th century.
The USS Defiant NCC-1764 was named after this ship, and had a painting of it in its Briefing room. (ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II")
Background
While there has been a long line of British naval vessels to bear the name Defiance, including a torpedo school ship and three United States naval vessels, there never was an HMS Defiant serving in the Royal Navy in real life. A fictional Defiant was seen in the 1962 movie Damn The Defiant! (based on the Frank Tilsey novel Mutiny), which may have been the namesake for the Constitution-class starship.
