HMS Prince George (1772)

HMS "Prince George" was a 90-gun second rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 31 August 1772 at Chatham. During her career, she was upgraded to a 98-gun ship, through the addition of eight 12 pdr guns to her quarterdeck.

In 1780, "Prince George" was part of Rodney's fleet at the Battle of Cape St. Vincent. She took part in the Battle of the Saintes in 1782, and the Battle of Groix in 1795.

"Prince George" was converted to serve as a sheer hulk in 1832, and was broken up in 1839.
