HMS America (1777)
HMS ''America'' was a 64-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 5 August 1777 at Deptford.〔
She took part in the Battle of the Chesapeake on 5 September 1781, and in 1795 was part of the British fleet at the Battle of Muizenberg.
''America'' was under way off the Azores on 13 December 1800 when she ran against the Formigas Reef and suffered severe damage to her hull. With some difficulty she was refloated with the tide and returned to harbour. On 27 December ''America''s captain and senior officers were court martialled aboard , which was anchored off Port Royal, Jamaica. All were acquitted when the court established that the grounding had been caused by errors in the ship's charts, upon which the Reef was marked as being substantially to the south of its actual location.〔Grocott 1997, p. 103〕
Following the grounding, ''America'' was withdrawn from active service and redesignated as a prison ship. She was decommissioned and broken up in 1807.〔
