HMS Nile

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Three ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Nile, after the Battle of the Nile in 1798:

  • HMS Nile was a 12-gun cutter purchased in 1806. She was sold in 1810, but was rejected by the purchaser and subsequently broken up in 1811.
  • HMS Nile was a 92-gun second rate ship of the line launched in 1830. She was converted to screw propulsion in 1854, renamed HMS Conway in 1876 whilst on loan as a training ship, and was burnt in 1956.
  • HMS Nile was a Trafalgar class battleship launched in 1888 and sold in 1912.
