Eight ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS ''Dover'', after the English town and seaport of Dover: * was a pink captured from the Royalists in 1649 and sold in 1650. * was a 48-gun ship launched in 1654, rebuilt in 1695 and 1716 and broken up in 1730. * was an 8-gun dogger captured from the Dutch in 1672 and given away in 1677. * was a 44-gun fifth rate launched in 1740 and sold in 1763. * was a 44-gun fifth rate launched in 1786, converted to an armed transport by 1799, and burnt by accident in 1806. Because ''Dover'' served in the navy's Egyptian campaign between 8 March 1801 and 2 September, her officers and crew qualified for the clasp "Egypt" to the Naval General Service Medal, which the Admiralty issued in 1847 to all surviving claimants. *HMS ''Dover'' was a 38-gun fifth rate, previously the East Indiaman ''Carron''. She was purchased in 1804 and renamed HMS ''Duncan''. She was renamed HMS ''Dover'' in 1807 and was wrecked in 1811. * was a 38-gun troopship, previously the French corvette ''Bellona'', launched at Venice in 1808. She was captured in 1811, used for harbour service from 1825, and sold in 1836. * was an iron paddle packet launched in 1840. She was the first iron ship in the Royal Navy, and was sold in 1866. ==See also== * *HMS ''Dover Castle'' was a planned Castle-class corvette, cancelled in 1943. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HMS Dover」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
