Red Dragon (1595)
''Scourge of Malice'' or ''Malice Scourge'' or ''Mare Scourge'' was a 38-gun ship ordered by George Clifford, 3rd Earl of Cumberland. She was built and launched at Deptford Dockyard in 1595. The Earl used her as his flagship during raids on the Spanish Main, where she provided additional force to support his fleet. She was later renamed ''Red Dragon'' and used by the East India Company during at least five voyages to the East Indies.
==Construction==
In the 1590s, the Earl of Cumberland's passion for nautical adventure was at its peak. He lacked a vessel able to support his hired fleet; the only option he had to get a sufficiently armed vessel was to borrow from the Queen, something which would give her significant control over his actions. As a result, he declared that he would have his own ship built, 'the best and largest ship that had been built by any English subject.'〔Nichols (1823), pp496–497.〕 The ship is variously recorded as being between 600〔Corney (1855), p1.〕 and 900〔Southey (1834), pp33–34.〕 tons and was named by Queen Elizabeth I as ''Scourge of Malice''.〔
