Best Answer

The fish was named 74 by Captain Alex Anderson who was my Great-Great Uncle. He named it 74 after the French designed sailing ships called 74s as they had 74 guns. The spots down the sides of the fish apparently reminded my uncle of the gun portals of the 74s. A few of these ships were captured by the British copied and used extensively by them.
