I thought a Plunger WAS a fish[edit]

My father was abord the Plunger in WWII. It was my understanding that a Plunger was a type of fish, with a "flathead plunger" being similar to a large catfish. Breed names do change over the years. It just seems odd that this would be the ONLY vessel to not be named after a fish, and I think in someone's mind at the time it was. Tom (talk) 02:55, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
