HMS Royal Sovereign (1701)

HMS Royal Sovereign (1701)

HMS "Royal Sovereign" was a 100-gun first rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built at Woolwich Dockyard and launched in July 1701. She had been built using some of the salvageable timbers from the previous HMS|Royal Sovereign|1685|2, which had been destroyed by fire in 1697.Lavery, Ships of the Line vol.1, p163.]

"Royal Sovereign" formed the basis for the dimensions for 100-gun ships in the 1719 Establishment, being a generally well-regarded vessel.Lavery, Ships of the Line vol.1, p76.] In practice, only "Royal Sovereign" herself was affected by this, being the only first rate ship either built or rebuilt to the Establishment in its original form. She underwent her rebuild to the 1719 Establishment at Chatham after an order of 18 February 1724, being relaunched on 28 September 1728.

The rebuilt "Royal Sovereign" remained in service until she was broken up in 1768.
