Talk:HMS Prince (1670)

Further Information
In 1672 with the Duke of York embarked, Prince was heavily damaged in the Battle of Solebay. Although the Dutch were defeated in the battle, the damage was so severe the Duke had to shift his flag to another vessel. According to this source, she was broken up in 1692 and the sound timber was used in the building of the Royal William. This conflicts with the statement that she was renamed Royal William.

Can anyone confirm whether she was broken up or simply renamed? If not, I would defer to the position taken by the Science Museum.

This site says renamed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by James Galloway (talk • contribs) 23:57, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

The 100 guns consisted of 26 cannons (42 pdrs) on the lower gun-deck; 28 culverins (18 pdrs) on the middle gun-deck; 28 demi-culverins (9 pdrs) on the upper gun-deck; 10 sakers (6 pdrs) on the quarter-deck; four sakers on the forecastle and four 3 pdrs on the poop-deck Tvbanfield (talk) 18:04, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
