HMS Cambridge was an 80-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched at Deptford Dockyard on 21 December 1695.
She was rebuilt according to the 1706 Establishment at Woolwich Dockyard, and relaunched on 17 September 1715. During this rebuild, her armament of 80 guns was redistributed over an additional gundeck, to make her a three-decker instead of the two-decker she was originally built as. She continued to be classified as a third rate, however.
Cambridge was broken up in 1749.
Famous quotes containing the word cambridge:
“If we help an educated man’s daughter to go to Cambridge are we not forcing her to think not about education but about war?—not how she can learn, but how she can fight in order that she might win the same advantages as her brothers?”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
