Ilsley (ship)

The name "Ilsley" appears in connection with several ships. To provide a useful encyclopedia entry, disambiguation is required. Without further context, it is impossible to determine which specific vessel is being referenced. Potential ship types named "Ilsley" might include:

• United States Navy Destroyers: At least one US Navy destroyer, USS Ilsley (DD-268), was named after Rear Admiral Charles Pomeroy Ilsley. It is likely the most prominent ship bearing this name. A later destroyer escort, USS Ilsley (DE-694), also carried the name.

• Merchant Vessels: It is possible, though less likely given the prevalence of the naval usage, that merchant ships could have been named "Ilsley." Records would need to be consulted to confirm such instances.

For any specific ship named "Ilsley," further research into naval records, historical archives, and maritime databases is needed to determine its construction details, service history, and eventual fate (scrapped, sunk, sold, etc.). To identify the intended ship, specifying the nationality, type of vessel, and approximate date is necessary.
