Ramillies class ship of the line

Ramillies class ship of the line

The "Ramillies"-class ships of the line were a class of nine 74-gun third rates, designed for the Royal Navy by Sir Thomas Slade.

Design

The draught for the "Ramillies"-class was very similar to that of the sclass|Bellona|ship of the line|0 and subsequent sclass|Arrogant|ship of the line|0, with the only real differences to be found in the shape of the underwater hull. There were two distinct sub-groups; four ships were built in the Royal Dockyards to the original design, approved on 25 April 1760 - although the name-ship "Ramillies" had originally been ordered as a sclass|Bellona|ship of the line|0 unit. Slade subsequently amended his design for the ships which were to be built by commercial contractors - this modified design, with slightly amended dimensions, being approved on 13 January 1761.
