Ursa Major often disputed. The constellation of Ursa Major has been seen as a bear, usually a female bear, by many distinct civilizations. This may stem from a common oral tradition stretching back more than 13,000 years. Using statistical and phylogenetic tools, Julien d'Huy reconstructs the following Palaeolithic state of the story: "There is an animal that is a horned herbivore, especially an elk. One human pursues this ungulate. The hunt locates or get to the sky. The animal is alive when it is transformed into a constellation. It forms the Big Dipper". In Burmese, "Pucwan Tārā" (ပုဇွန် တာရာ, pronounced "bazun taya")
HMS Ursa (R22) refitted for service in the Far East and joined the British Pacific Fleet where she served until 1945. She then returned to the United Kingdom and paid off in 1946. During the War "Ursa" was adopted by the Borough of Hendon as part of "Warship Week". The plaque from this adoption is held by the National Museum of the Royal Navy in Portsmouth. After the Second World War "Ursa" went into reserve at Portsmouth, transferring to the Chatham reserve in 1952. During 1953 and 1954 "Ursa" was converted to a Type 15 anti-submarine frigate with the new pennant number F200.
