- HMS Prince Frederick was a 70-gun third rate launched in 1679 as HMS Expedition. She was renamed HMS Prince Frederick in 1715, rebuilt in 1740 and sold in 1784.
- HMS Prince Frederick was a 64-gun third rate, previously the Dutch ship Revolutie. She was captured in 1796, converted to a hospital ship by 1804 and was sold in 1817.
- HMS Prince Frederick was the Danish Royal Yacht Kronprindsens Lystfregat launched in 1785 and given by the King of England to his nephew, the Crown Prince of Denmark. After the Battle of Copenhagen (1807), the Danes sent her back to the British. The Royal Navy took her in as HMS Prince Frederick. She was renamed Princess Augusta in 1816, and sold in 1818.
Famous quotes containing the words prince and/or frederick:
“Subordination to morality can be slavish or vain or self- interested or resigned or gloomily enthusiastic or thoughtless or an act of despair, just as subordination to a prince can be: in itself it is nothing moral.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“For should your hands drop white and empty
All the toys of the world would break.”
