HMS Leviathan

Four ships of the Royal Navy have been named HMS "Leviathan":

* The first "Leviathan" was a 70-gun third-rate ship of the line launched in 1750 as "Northumberland", renamed in 1777 and sunk in 1780 in the Atlantic.
* The second "Leviathan" was a 74-gun third rate launched in 1790. She fought at the Battle of Trafalgar, was used as a convict ship from 1816 and sold in 1848.
* The third "Leviathan" was a "Drake"-class armoured cruiser launched in 1901 and sold for scrap in 1920.
* The fourth "Leviathan" (R97) was a "Majestic"-class aircraft carrier. She was launched in 1943 but never completed and scrapped in 1968.
