The QE2 is named for Elizabeth I? That's fantastic! I assumed the '2' was lazy for 'II' by journalists, or that they thought QE2 was more immediately understandable than QEII.

Alison Weir, in her Henry VIII, The King and His Court, records that Thomas Boleyn sold two ships to the king in 1523. They were named the Mary Boleyn and the Anne Boleyn.

Blackbeard's ship, the Queen Anne's Revenge, is sometimes said to be named for Anne Boleyn (usually claiming Blackbeard was a distant cousin or some such), but this is probably not true. Blackbeard served in Queen Anne's War, also known as the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714), and turned to piracy after that, so that's a more likely source of the ship's name.
