HMS Indefatigable (1784)
HMS ''Indefatigable'' was one of the ''Ardent'' class 64-gun third-rate ships-of-the-line designed by Sir Thomas Slade in 1761 for the Royal Navy. Though built as a ship-of-the-line, most of her active service took place after her conversion to a 44-gun heavy frigate. She had a long career under several distinguished commanders, serving throughout the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars. She took, alone or in company, some 27 prizes and in 1847 the Admiralty authorised the issue of four clasps to the Naval General Service Medal to any still surviving members of her crews from the respective actions.〔〔〔 She was broken up in 1816.
==Construction==
''Indefatigable'' was ordered on 3 August 1780 (long after Slade's death), and her keel was laid down in May 1781 at the Bucklers Hard shipyard in Hampshire owned by Henry Adams. She was launched in early July 1784〔 and completed from 11 July to 13 September of that year at Portsmouth Dockyard as a 64-gun two-decked third rate for the Royal Navy. She had cost £25,210 4s 5d to build; her total initial cost including fitting out and coppering was £36,154 18s 7d.〔 By that time, she was already anachronistic for the role of a ship of the line as the French only built the more powerful 74-gun ships,〔Parkinson C.N., ''"Life of Exmouth", Chapter V'', London, 1934.〕 and was never commissioned in that role.
