Oh yes, I have hear of her, but I had totally forgotten  the name and never 
made the association with our Hermione.  BTW in my  reading I came across an 
historical association with the name that no one may  have heard of.  The 
Hermione was a famous 32-gun Royal  Navy frigate that was the subject of a mutiny in 
September 1797.  She  was taken over and most of the officers were killed.  
The ship was turned  over to the Spanish in Venezuela.  Some of the crew were 
eventually caught  and hanged.  The ship was renamed the Santa Cecilia, but in 
a daring and  dramatic rescue, she was retaken from Havana harbor by a  group 
of British  sailors.  She was renamed the Retribution.
