Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that it would be ironic that this traitor would sail on a ship that is named after a bird that is disgusting and a scavenger, it shows how low this once great hero dropped to.

It is ironic that Benedict Arnold escaped on the HMS Vulture because Arnold had been a general in the Continental Army fighting against the British, and the Vulture was a British ship. To escape on an enemy ship contradicted his previous allegiance and actions in the war, making it ironic.

What is ironic about Rosencrantz's and Guildensern's approaching deaths in Hamlet?
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's deaths were particularly ironic, because they, the betrayers, were betrayed instead. The duo tried to betray their childhood friend, Hamlet, thinking that it would be an easy feat. However, unbeknownst to them, Hamlet had already come up with a plan, rewriting the letter so that they would be killed in his place while he escaped. Thus, they that were willing to sacrifice their friend, were sacrificed in his place. Ironic indeed.
