HMS Salisbury (1698)

[1] Lestock was succeeded by Captain Richard Cotton, but while off Orford Ness on 10 April 1703 she encountered and was attacked by a squadron consisting of four French warships, including the Adroit, and three privateers.

Salisbury was part of the Dunkirk Squadron that attacked the English convoy commanded by Baron Wylde, during the action of 2 May 1707.

[5] She was finally recaptured off Scotland on 15 March 1708 by HMS Leopard and other ships of Sir George Byng's squadron.

On 9 January 1739 Preston was ordered to be taken to pieces to be rebuilt by Master Shipwright Thomas Fellowes at Plymouth Dockyard according to the 1733 proposals of the 1719 Establishment, and she was broken up in February.

[3][4] From 1745 she was assigned to the Royal Navy's East Indies squadron which was based in the Dutch-held port of Trincomalee, Ceylon.
