Intestingly "The Admiral" as it is known to most people at the club came out of Burrells works with the name "Admiral Togo" It wasnt untill the second world war when Japan lost respect from the British that its name was then changed to "The Admiral" This is how it was when it entered preservation but had its original name returned when reposessed by the club, Even now tho it is nearly always referred to with its abreviated name.
