HMS Prince Royal (1610)

HMS Prince Royal (1610)

HMS "Prince Royal" was a 55-gun Royal Ship of the English Royal Navy, built by Phineas Pett I at Woolwich and launched in 1610.

In 1641 she was rebuilt by Peter Pett I at Woolwich as a 70-gun ship. During the time of the Commonwealth of England, she was named "Resolution" and fought in most battles of the First Anglo-Dutch War. By 1660 she was carrying 80 guns. In 1663 she was rebuilt at Woolwich Dockyard by Phineas Pett II as a 92-gun first rate ship of the line.

In 1666, during the Second Anglo-Dutch War, she served as Vice-Admiral George Ayscue's flagship in the Four Days Battle, on the third day of which she ran aground. When Dutch fireships began approaching the stranded ship, her crew panicked and struck her colours. Ayscue was forced to surrender to Lieutenant-Admiral Cornelis Tromp aboard the "Gouda". Lieutenant-Admiral Michiel de Ruyter ordered "Prince Royal" to be burned, then a general Dutch policy with captured prizes to prevent them from being recaptured later in a battle.
