HMS Monarch (1765)

HMS "Monarch" was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 20 July 1765 at Deptford Dockyard.

"Monarch" had a very active career, fighting in her first battle in 1778 at the First Battle of Ushant and her second under Admiral Rodney at Cape St. Vincent in 1780. She fought in the van of Graves' fleet at the Battle of the Chesapeake in 1781. In early 1782 she fought at the Battle of St. Kitts, and later that year at the Battle of the Saintes. In 1795 she was deployed as part of the small fleet under Admiral Elphinstone that captured the Cape of Good Hope from the Dutch VOC at the Battle of Muizenberg. In 1797 "Monarch" was Vice Admiral Onslow's flagship at the Battle of Camperdown, and in 1801 she was part of Nelson's fleet at the Battle of Copenhagen, where she suffered the most damage out of the British ships present.Fact|date=September 2008

"Monarch" was broken up in 1813.
