HMS Torbay was an 80-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched at Deptford Dockyard on 16 December 1693.[1]
She was rebuilt at Deptford, according to the 1706 Establishement, and was relaunched on 23 May 1719. After this, her 80 guns were mounted on three gundecks instead of her original two, though she continued to be classified as a third rate.[2]
Torbay was broken up in 1749.[2]
