HMS Ramillies

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Several vessels of the British Royal Navy have been named HMS Ramillies after the Battle of Ramillies (23 May 1706):

  • Ramillies (1749) - 82-gun second-rate. In 1760 she was returning to Plymouth before an approaching gale when a combination of poor piloting and inadequate ship handling led to the ship's piling up on the rocks off Bolt Head on the evening of February 15. Only 26 of the 725 crew survived.
  • Ramillies (1763) - 74-gun ship of the line. Sank in a storm in 1782 as part of Admiral Graves's fleet.
  • Ramillies (1785) - 74-gun 3rd rate. 1670 tons as built by Randall of Rotherhithe. 170½ ft x 48½ ft. Fought the French in the Caribbean in 1800 and the Americans in 1812. Into harbour service in 1831. Broken up at Deptford in 1850.
  • Ramillies (1893) - Royal Sovereign class pre-Dreadnought battleship scrapped in 1913.
  • Ramillies (1916) - Revenge class Dreadnought battleship scrapped in 1948.
  • Ramillies was intended as the name of the fifth Resolution class submarine, but this vessel was cancelled. The name has not been used since.
