HMS Calcutta (1831)
HMS ''Calcutta'' was an 84-gun second-rate ship-of-the-line of the Royal Navy, built in teak to a draught by Sir Robert Seppings and launched on 14 March 1831 in Bombay. She was the only ship ever built to her draught.〔 She carried her complement of smooth-bore, muzzle-loading guns on two gundecks. Her complement was 720 men (38 officers, 69 petty officers, 403 seamen, 60 boys and 150 marines).〔(Diaries of William King-Hall ). Retrieved 6 November 2008.〕
In 1855 the ship had been in reserve, but was recommissioned for the war between Russia and Britain and sailed for the Baltic. After two months she was sent home again, as being useless for modern naval actions.〔 ISBN 0-394-52833-6.〕
She saw action in the Second Opium War as the flagship of Rear Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, under the command of Captain William King-Hall. In 1858 ''Calcutta'' visited Nagasaki where she stayed for one week, becoming the first ship-of-the-line to visit Japan.〔
In 1865, she was converted to a gunnery ship, moored at Devonport, Devon, with HMS ''Cambridge''.〔(HMS ''Cambridge'', Gunnery School, in old photos ). Cyber Heritage. Retrieved 6 November 2008.〕 She was sold to breakers in 1908.〔 Her figurehead was acquired by Admiral Lord Fisher, then First Sea Lord, as she had been his first seagoing ship.〔Morris, J. ''Fisher's Face'', London (1994), p. 196.〕 In 2013 the figurehead was restored and transferred to the National Museum of the Royal Navy
