HMS Suffolk was a 70-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built by contract of 20 February 1678 by Henry Johnson at Blackwall and launched in May 1680.[1]
She was rebuilt at Blackwall in 1699,[2] and for a second time at Chatham Dockyard, from where she was relaunched on 13 November 1718 as a 70-gun third rate to the 1706 Establishment.[3] On 3 December 1735 she was ordered to be taken to pieces for her final rebuild, which was carried out at Woolwich. She was reconstructed as a 70-gun third rate according to the 1733 proposals of the 1719 Establishment, and relaunched on 5 March 1739.[4]
Suffolk was broken up in 1765.[4]
