The other RN pronunciation that always sounded odd from day one was tur-bin (ie turbine)
Never heard "turbine" pronounced any other way from day one, just as "ensign" is pronounced as "en-sin". Just to stir the pot further, "lieutenant", in any of its other forms in the Royal Navy, such as sub lieutenant, lieutenant commander, flag lieutenant, and first lieutenant, should not be pronounced as "lef-tenant", or even "loo-tenant", but "le-tenant".....👍🏻😁
