HMS Bedford (1775)

HMS Bedford (1775)

HMS "Bedford" was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 27 October 1775 at Woolwich.

In 1780, "Bedford" fought at the Battle of Cape St Vincent.

During the American Revolutionary War, "Bedford", under the command of Edmund Affleck, fought in two engagements against the Comte de Grasse; at the Battle of St. Kitts (25–26 January 1782) under Admiral Samuel Hood, and the Battle of the Saintes (9–12 April 1782) under Admiral Rodney.

She became a prison ship in 1801, and was broken up in 1817.
