HMS Charles (1668)
HMS ''Charles'' was a 96-gun first-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built by Christopher Pett at Deptford Dockyard until his death in March 1668, then completed by Jonas Shish after being launched in the same month. Her name was formally ''Charles the Second'', but she was known simply as ''Charles'', particularly after 1673 when the contemporary ''Royal Charles'' was launched.〔
The ''Charles'' was renamed HMS ''St George'' in 1687 and reclassified as a second rate in 1691. In 1699-1701 she was rebuilt at Portsmouth Dockyard as a 90-gun second rate.〔 In 1707, she belonged to Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell's fleet. Under the command of Captain James Lord Dursley,〔(James Herbert Cooke, The Shipwreck of Sir Cloudesley Shovell on the Scilly Islands in 1707, From Original and Contemporary Documents Hitherto Unpublished, Read at a Meeting of the Society of Antiquaries, London, Feb. 1, 1883 )〕 she saw action during the unsuccessful Battle of Toulon and was present during the great naval disaster off the Isles of Scilly when Shovell and four of his ships (''Association'', ''Firebrand'', ''Romney'' and ''Eagle'') were lost, claiming the lives of nearly 2,000〔Sobel, Dava, ''Longitude: The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time'', Fourth Estate Ltd., London 1998, p. 6, ISBN 1-85702-571-7〕 sailors. ''St George'' also struck rocks off Scilly, but managed to get off.
The ''St George'' was taken to pieces at Portsmouth in 1726 to be rebuilt again. On 4 September 1733, ''St George'' was ordered to be rebuilt to the 1733 proposals of the 1719 Establishment. She was relaunched on 3 April 1740.〔
She was eventually broken up in September 1774.〔
