HMS Warwick (1733)

HMS Warwick (1733)

HMS "Warwick" was a 60-gun fourth rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built to the 1719 Establishment at Plymouth Dockyard, and launched on 25 October 1733.

In 1756, whilst under the command of Captain Molyneux Shuldham, "Warwick" encountered a French squadron comprising the 74-gun "Prudente", a 60-gun ship and a 36-gun frigate. Though succeeding in evading the two large ships, the frigate was able to catch up to her and managed to rake "Warwick's" stern, and delayed her enough for the other French vessels to arrive. Captain Shuldham was forced to surrender. "Warwick" was subsequently commissioned into the French navy, and was recaptured by the Royal Navy on 24 January 1761.Ships of the Old Navy, "Warwick".]

"Warwick" was broken up later in 1761.
