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):

  • The 82-gun second-rate Royal Katherine was renamed the Ramillies in 1706, and later wrecked in 1760 as she was returning to Plymouth. 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.
