HMS Royal Katherine (1664)
- HMS Royal Katherine (1664)
HMS "Royal Katherine" was an 84-gun second-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched in 1664 at Woolwich Dockyard.
In the Second Anglo-Dutch War she fought at the Battle of Lowestoft (13 June 1665), the Four Days' Battle (11 June to 14 June 1666), and the St. James's Day Battle (4 August 1666). During the Raid on the Medway, she was sunk off to prevent her from being captured.
In the Third Anglo-Dutch War, she fought at the battles of Solebay (7 June 1672), when she was captured by the Dutch but recaptured the same day, and Schooneveld (8 June 1673).
In the War of the Grand Alliance she fought at the Battle of Barfleur (29 May 1692).
In 1702 she was rebuilt at Portsmouth, relaunching as a 90-gun second rate.
In the Seven Years' War she was the flagship of Admiral John Byng when he failed to relieve Port Mahon and so lost the island of Minorca, a lack of resolution that led to his controversial court-martial and execution.
"Ramillies" was wrecked at Bolt Head near Plymouth on 15 February 1760.
