HMS Lichfield (1695)


HMS Lichfield was a 50-gun fourth-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, one of five such ships authorised on 16 November 1693, and she underwent a rebuild according to the 1719 Establishment by Master Shipwright Peirson Lock at Plymouth Dockyard for a cost of £11,342-3-2d, and she was re-launched on 25 March 1730. The Lichfield continued in service until 1744, when she was first nominally reduced to a 44-gun Fifth Rate, but then ordered to be taken to pieces instead ten days later, which breaking-uo was completed in July.
