Hms Monmouth

Seven ships of the Royal Navy have been named HMS ''Monmouth'', after the Welsh town; the name also recognises James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth, the "Black Duke", in whose honour the current ship flies a black flag from the mainmast.
  • The first Monmouth was an eight-gun yacht built in 1666.

  • The fourth Monmouth was a 64-gun third-rate built on the Thames in 1796, laid up in 1815 and broken up in 1834.
  • The fifth Monmouth was a fifth-rate launched as Horspar at Plymouth in 1828, renamed Monmouth in 1868, and finally sold in 1902 after seeing use as a chapel at Devonport.
  • The sixth Monmouth was the name-ship of her class of armoured cruisers of 9,800 tons displacement. Built in 1901.
  • The seventh and current Monmouth is a Type 23 frigate, built at Yarrow Shipbuilders on the river Clyde, and launched on 23 November 1991.
