Daedalus requires no explanation.
and as if to make your point none was provided by your link, other than to provide a further link which then did. I am intrigued by the multitude of Daedali (?) that the Royal Navy has possessed, including a pier! What isn't mentioned though is an Airship establishment (ship?) in deepest Lincolnshire. Yet when I was a young snot (thought I'd throw that one in just for you) there, we were told that had indeed been its title until we sensibly renamed it RAF College Cranwell. We also sensibly renamed the OP one as RAF Lee-on-Solent, but then the RN renamed it as a ship yet again. I asume you then had to once again hang around the Guard Room until there were enough to row a Jolly Boat ashore?
