London class ship of the line
- London class ship of the line
The "London" class ships of the line were a class of four second rates, designed for the Royal Navy by Sir Thomas Slade.
Design
The first ship of the class, HMS|London|1766|2, was a 90-gun ship. When the second batch of three ships was ordered several years later, they were specified as being 98-gun ships. This was achievable without significant modifications to the design thanks to the earlier practice of not arming second rate quarterdecks, thus allowing for the addition of 4 guns per side.
