Six ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS ''Perseus'', after the Greek hero Perseus: * was a 20-gun sixth rate launched in 1776; she was the first vessel of the Royal Navy to be sheathed in copper.〔Chambers & Thomson (1870), Vol. 2, p.429.〕 She was converted to a bomb vessel in 1799 and was broken up in 1805. * was a 22-gun sixth rate launched in 1812. She was used for harbour service from 1818 and was broken up in 1850. * was a ''Camelion''-class wooden screw sloop launched in 1861. She was used for harbour service from 1886, was renamed HMS ''Defiance II'' in 1904 and was probably sold in 1912. * was a ''Pelorus''-class protected cruiser launched in 1897 and sold for scrap in 1914. * was a ''Parthian''-class submarine launched in 1929 and sunk in 1941 during the Second World War. * was a ''Colossus''-class aircraft carrier launched in 1944 as HMS ''Edgar'' but renamed a few months later.
