HMS Norwich (1693)

HMS Norwich (1693)

HMS "Norwich" was a 50-gun fourth rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched at Deptford in 1693.

She was rebuilt according to the 1706 Establishment at Chatham Dockyard, relaunching on 20 May 1718. In 1744 she was reduced to a fifth rate and renamed HMS "Enterprise". She patrolled the Caribbean until the end of the War of the Spanish Succession in 1748, when she was laid up in ordinary.

"Enterprise" was recommissioned in 1756 at the outbreak of the Seven Years' War, again for service in the West Indies and North America and resumed her duties as Atlantic convoy escort. In 1762 she was present at the siege and capture of Havana, Cuba, an action involving nearly 60 warships and transports enough for more than 16,000 troops.

"Enterprise" was decommissioned in January 1764 and was broken up in 1771 at Sheerness.
