HMS Britannia was a 100-gun first rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built by Phineas Pett II at Chatham Dockyard, and launched in 1682.[1]
In 1715, Britannia was ordered to be taken to pieces[1] and rebuilt at Woolwich Dockyard, from where she relaunched on 30 October 1719, again as a 100-gun first rate.[2]
Britannia was placed on harbour service in 1745, and was broken up in 1749.[2]
