*"Endymion", launched in 1797, was the lead ship of her class of 40- to 50-gun frigates. She served in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. In the War of 1812 she fought a duel with USS "President" on January 15, 1815, disabling the American ship.
*"Endymion", launched in 1865, was a fourth-rate frigate. She was scrapped soon after 1885.
*"Endymion", launched in 1891, was an "Edgar"-class cruiser. She served in World War I and was broken up in 1921.
