HMS Stirling Castle (1742)
- HMS Stirling Castle (1742)
HMS "Stirling Castle" was a 70-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built at Chatham Dockyard to the 1733 proposals of the 1719 Establishment, and launched on 24 April 1742.
Whilst under the command of Captain Thomas Cooper, "Stirling Castle" took part in the Battle of Toulon on 11 February 1744. "Stirling Castle" was the lead ship in Rear-Admiral William Rowley's van division of Admiral Thomas Matthews' fleet that engaged the France-Spanish fleet. After the battle several officers were court-martialed, including Captain Cooper who appeared on 12 May at Port Mahon, where he was dismissed the service. He was immediately resorted to his former rank and command however, as the charges against him were not deemed detrimental to either his professional honour or his ability as a sea officer.[Ships of the Old Navy, "Stirling Castle".] ]"Stirling Castle" was lost in 1762.
