Hms Nottingham

Four ships of the British Royal Navy have borne the name HMS ''Nottingham'', after the city of Nottingham in the East Midlands.
  • The first Nottingham was a 60 gun 4th rate, launched at Deptford in 1703. The ship was rebuilt in the same yard in 1719, rebuilt again at Sheerness in 1745 and sunk as a breakwater at Sheerness in 1773. These two rebuilds are sometimes counted as separate ships in the lineage.
  • The second Nottingham was a small gunboat built in 1794. After a relatively short career, the boat was sold in 1800.
  • The third Nottingham was a 2nd class cruiser, built in 1913 and sunk by U-52 in 1916.
  • The fourth and current Nottingham (D91) is a Type 42 destroyer. She was launched in 1980 and commissioned in 1983. This ship famously ran aground in 2002 during a storm whilst airlifting a sick crewman to the nearby Lord Howe Island, off the coast of Australia. She has since been repaired and returned to full operational service.
