HMS Shrewsbury

Three ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS "Shrewsbury", after the English town of Shrewsbury:

*HMS "Shrewsbury" was an 80-gun second rate launched in 1695. She was rebuilt in 1713 and broken up in 1749.
*HMS "Shrewsbury" was a 74-gun third rate launched in 1758. She was condemned in 1783 and scuttled that year.
*HMS "Shrewsbury" was a Hunt class minesweeper launched in 1918 and sold in 1927.

There was also HMS "Shrewsbury Castle", a Castle class corvette launched in 1943. She was loaned to the Royal Norwegian Navy and renamed HNoMS "Tunsberg Castle" in 1944 and was sunk that year by a mine.
