HMS Duke (1682)

HMS Duke (1682)

HMS "Duke" was a 90-gun second rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched in 1682 at Woolwich Dockyard.

She underwent a rebuild in 1701 as another 90-gun second rate, and was renamed HMS "Prince George" (after the future George II). After her rebuild, she served in the War of the Spanish Succession, fighting in the Battle of Málaga and the capture of Gibraltar.

On 4 November 1719 "Prince George" was ordered to be taken to pieces and rebuilt at Deptford, from where she was relaunched on 4 September 1723 as a 90-gun second rate built to the 1719 Establishment.

She served until 13 April 1758, when she was accidentally destroyed by fire whilst at sea in the Bay of Biscay.
