HMS Bedford

HMS Bedford

Three ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS "Bedford", after the English town of Bedford:

*HMS "Bedford" was a 70-gun third rate launched in 1698. She was rebuilt in 1741 to carry 64-guns, was hulked in 1767 and sold in 1787.
*HMS "Bedford" was a 74-gun third rate launched in 1775. She was used a prison ship from 1801 and was broken up in 1817.
*HMS "Bedford" was a "Monmouth" class armoured cruiser launched in 1901. She was wrecked in 1910 and the wreck was sold later that year.

There was also a 34-gun fifth rate named HMS "Bedford Galley". She was launched in 1697, and purchased that year for Navy service. She was rebuilt in 1709 and converted into a fire ship in 1716. She was sunk as a foundation at Sheerness in 1725.

HMS "Bedford" is also the name given to a fictional Type-23 frigate in the film "Tomorrow Never Dies".
