HMS Ganges

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Two ships of the British Royal Navy have been named HMS Ganges after the river Ganges in India.

  • The second Ganges was an 84-gun 2nd rate launched in 1821 and finally broken up in 1930. She is notable for being the last sailing ship of the Navy to serve as a flagship.

From 1906 to 1925, the name was held by various ships - the former HMS Caroline, HMS Minotaur, HMS Agincourt, and various steam launches - operating as part of the Navy training depot at RNTE Shotley, near Ipswich.

From 1927 to 1976 a Royal Navy training depot, the former RNTE Shotley, was named HMS Ganges.
