HMS Camperdown

HMS Camperdown

Four vessels of the British Royal Navy have been named HMS "Camperdown" after the Battle of Camperdown in 1797:

* The first "Camperdown" was a 74-gun third-rate ship of the line captured from the Dutch (who called her the "Jupiter") at the Battle of Camperdown. She was sold in 1817.
* The second "Camperdown" was originally HMS "Trafalgar", a 106-gun first-rate launched in 1820, renamed in 1825 and sold in 1906.
* The third "Camperdown", launched in 1885, was an Admiral-class battleship which sank HMS "Victoria" in a collision in 1893.
* The fourth "Camperdown" (D32), launched in 1944, was a Battle-class destroyer that served in World War II and was broken up in 1970.
