HMS Dorsetshire (1694)

HMS Dorsetshire (1694)

HMS "Dorsetshire" was an 80-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched at Southampton on 8 December 1694.

She was rebuilt according to the 1706 Establishment at Portsmouth Dockyard, and relaunched on 20 September 1712. As built, "Dorsetshire" had carried her 80-gun armament on two decks, but during this rebuild they were redistributed over a third gundeck, although she continued to be classified as a third rate.

"Dorsetshire" continued to serve until 1749, when she was sold out of the navy.
