HMS Aldborough (1743)
HMS ''Aldborough'' was a 20-gun sixth-rate ship of the Royal Navy, launched in 1743 and in service in Atlantic and Caribbean waters until 1749.
== Naval career==
Commissioned in February 1743 under Captain John Pitman, ''Aldborough'' was launched in March as part of the British home fleet during the War of Jenkins' Ear. For two years she was assigned patrol and convoy duties from the English Channel to northern Scotland. Former Harvard College professor Isaac Greenwood served as ship's chaplain during this coastal service, from 1743 until his discharge from the Navy on 22 May 1744. From 1744 ''Aldborough'' was transferred to the British fleet stationed off South Carolina, protecting British colonies against the risk of Spanish attack. Her captain at this station was Carolinas fleet commander Ashby Utting, late of . However Utting died in January 1746 and ''Aldborough''s captaincy devolved to a more junior officer, Commander Thomas Innes.〔Winfield 2007, p.254〕
In September 1747 the ship was reassigned to the Caribbean, where she remained until 1749. Service in the tropics having reduced her seaworthiness, she was paid off in July 1749 and returned to Deptford Dockyard for repairs. A naval survey in September of that year found that her condition was not salvageable. On 28 November she was sold out of service for ₤302.〔
