The HMS Sheffield was commissioned 34.59 years after the birth date listed for Patrick Stewart. The distance from Mirfield to Sheffield is about 30 miles.
HMS Sheffield (D80) was the second Royal Navy ship to bear the name Sheffield, after the city of Sheffield in Yorkshire. She was a Type 42 Guided Missile Destroyer laid down by Vickers Shipbuilding and Engineering at Barrow-in-Furness on 15 January 1970, launched on 10 June 1971 and commissioned on 16 February 1975.
Patrick Stewart OBE (born July 13, 1940) is an Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated English film, television and stage actor. He is also Chancellor of the University of Huddersfield.[1] Stewart has had a distinguished career in theatre for nearly fifty years, including performances as various characters in Shakespearean productions. However, he is most famous for his roles as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation, and as Professor Xavier in the X-Men film franchise.

Stewart was born in Mirfield, West Yorkshire, England to Gladys, a weaver and textile worker, and Alfred Stewart, a Regimental Sergeant Major in the British Army.
The HMS Phoebe was commissioned 33 months, 4 weeks, 1 day, after 7/16/1963, which produces a 33-41 clue, where 41 is for the 41 gun salute for royalty. There is a similar connection in that Ronald Reagan was precisely 41 years old on the day Queen Elizabeth II was coronated. I believe it was the timing of that particular detail that resulted in her being my paternal grandmother and he becoming my maternal grandfather.
HMS Phoebe (F42) was a Leander-class frigate of the Royal Navy (RN). She was, like the rest of her class, named after a figure of mythology. She was built by Vickers on the Tyne. She was launched on the 19th December 1964 and commissioned on the 15th May 1966.
Warship was an extremely popular British television drama series produced by the BBC between 1973 and 1977.
The series dealt with life on board a Royal Navy warship, the fictional HMS Hero. It was mainly filmed aboard the Leander-class frigate 'HMS 'Phoebe.
Warship was a drama series ‘launched’ by BBC Television in the summer of 1973 about the adventures of the Royal Navy Leander Class Frigate HMS Hero. Thanks to an unprecedented collaboration between the Royal Navy and the BBC at the time it also had a very strong documentary background due to extensive location footage shot on board. The series took as its central premise the lives and duties and explored the rigours and hardships faced by seamen on tours of duty across the globe. The stories of those serving on board, actually real-life frigate HMS Phoebe, were designed to reflect the changing nature of the Royal Navy in the early 1970s.
The primary focus for most stories was on the Captain and his fellow officers, only occasionally exploring the lower decks to portray storylines featuring the other ranks. Storylines either featured a variety of crises at sea (smuggling, the evacuation of British nationals from war-torn locales, gun-running etc.) or would feature the personal stories of officers and other ranks (romantic or otherwise) and the impact these personal issues had on their professional lives and duties.
HMS Hero was captained by three diverse, and often drastically so, officers throughout the life of the series: Donald Burton as Commander Mark Nialls, a high flying young officer, (in the first two seasons), Bryan Marshall as Commander Glenn, former naval pilot, (for the third season) and Derek Godfrey as Captain Edward Kelvin Holt, former submariner, (in the fourth and final season).

That series premiered precisely 3 years before I landed on the Saturn moon Phoebe. The HMS Phoebe forms a 33-41 connection with Phoebe Cates birthday.
The episode that premiered the day before I recognize as my first landing on the planet Mars was "Knight Errant."
A knight-errant (plural knights-errant) is a figure of medieval chivalric romance literature. "Errant" meaning wandering or roving, indicates how the knight-errant would typically wander the land in search of adventures to prove himself as a knight, such as in a pas d'Armes.
The first known appearance of the term "knight-errant" was in the 14th century Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, where Sir Gawain arrives at the castle of Sir Bercilak de Haudesert after long journeys, and Sir Bercilak goes to welcome the "knygt erraunt."
Many knights-errant fit the ideal of the "knight in shining armor". A knight-errant performed all his deeds in the name of a lady, and invoked her name before performing an exploit. Such a knight might well be outside the structure of feudalism, wandering solely to perform noble exploits (and perhaps to find a lord to give his service to), but might also be in service to a king or lord, traveling either in pursuit of a specific duty that his overlord charged him with (as Sir Gareth rescuing the Lady Lyonesse), or to put down evildoers in general. This quest sends a knight on adventures much like the ones of a knight in search of them, as he happens on the same marvels; in The Faerie Queen, St. George is sent to rescue Una's parents' kingdom from a dragon, and Guyon has no such quest, but both knights encounter perils and adventures.
In the romances, his adventures frequently included greater foes than other knights, including giants, enchantresses, or dragons. They may also gain help that is out of ordinary; Sir Ywain assisted a lion against a serpent, and was thereafter accompanied by it, becoming the Knight of the Lion. Other knight-errants have been assisted by wild men of the woods, as in Valentine and Orson, or, like Guillaume de Palerme, by wolves that were, in fact, enchanted princes.
This all further reinforces my belief that I am the luckiest guy in the world because my marriage such an incredible woman was all probably arranged before we were both even born. What are the odds?
I noted earlier the 33-7-59 for the USS Ronald Reagan CVN-76, and this seems to be a similar clue. I started wondering today how I even know that the number 7 is considered lucky in some cultures. There is also the notion that I was 7 years old when I first launched with Gemini 12 and then the first manned flight of the Apollo series was Apollo 7.

The originator of the idea for the series and main script editor was a serving Royal Navy officer, Ian Mackintosh. HMS Hero was - quite intentionally - portrayed as being captained by three very diverse officers in the series. Leading cast members included (portraying the Captain): Donald Burton as Commander Mark Nialls, a high flying young officer (in the first two seasons), Bryan Marshall as Commander Alan Glenn, a former Fleet Air Arm fighter pilot (for the third season) and Derek Godfrey as Captain Edward Holt, a former nuclear submariner, (in the fourth and final season). Other actors in the series included John Lee, Andrew Burt, Don Henderson, Norman Eshley, James Cosmo and David Savile.
