Little Belt
In 1801 the Danish Navy launched a 22-gun warship named "Lillebælt" for the strait. After the 1807 Battle of Copenhagen she was surrendered to the British Royal Navy, where her name was anglicized to "HMS Little Belt", and she took part in the then notorious "Little Belt" affair in North American waters. Later the Royal Navy bestowed the name "Little Belt" on another ship, which had no Danish antecedents.
