HMS Neptune (1757)

HMS Neptune (1757)

HMS "Neptune" was a 90-gun second rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built at Portsmouth Dockyard to the draught specified by the 1745 Establishment as amended in 1750, and launched on 17 July 1757.

"Neptune" was converted to serve as a sheer hulk in 1784, and continued in this role until she was broken up in 1816.
