HMS Bedford (1698)

HMS Bedford (1698)

HMS "Bedford" was a 70-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched at Woolwich Dockyard on 12 September 1698. She carried twenty-two 24-pounder guns and four (18-pounder) culverins on the lower deck; twenty-six 12-pounder guns on the upper deck; fourteen (5-pounder) sakers on the quarter-deck and forecastle; and four 3-pounder guns on the poop or roundhouse.

On 8 October 1736 "Bedford" was ordered to be taken to pieces and rebuilt according to the 1733 proposals of the 1719 Establishment at Portsmouth, from where she was relaunched on 9 March 1741.

"Bedford" was hulked in 1767, and served in this capacity until 1787, when she was sold out of the navy.
