From the Wikipedia article
Seven ships of the Royal Navy have been named HMS Sirius after the brightest star in the night sky. HMS Sirius (1786) was the flagship of the First Fleet to Australia. HMS Sirius (1797) was a 36-gun fifth-rate frigate, and served during the Napoleonic Wars until she was lost at the Battle of Grand Port, Isle de France. HMS Sirius (1813) was a fifth-rate frigate. She was never commissioned and apparently spent her whole career at Portsmouth in ordinary until she was broken up there in 1862. HMS Sirius (1868) was an Eclipse-class wooden screw sloop sold in 1885. HMS Sirius (1890) was an Apollo-class protected cruiser that served in World War I. HMS Sirius (82) was a Dido-class light cruiser in World War II. HMS Sirius (F40) was a Leander-class frigate in service until 1994. SS Sirius (1837)
