HMS Windsor (1695)

HMS Windsor was a 60-gun fourth rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched at Deptford on 31 October 1695.

[1] On 18 November 1725 she was ordered to be taken to pieces and rebuilt according to the 1719 Establishment at Deptford, and she was relaunched on 27 October 1729.

[2] On 1 November 1742 an order was made out for Windsor to be taken to pieces once more, and rebuilt at Woolwich Dockyard as a 58-gun fourth rate.

Unusually, she was not reconstructed according to the establishment of dimensions in effect at the time (the 1741 proposals of the 1719 Establishment), being made 5 ft (1.5 m) longer on the gundeck, 7 ft (2.1 m) longer on the keel, though with the same beam and 3 in (0.1 m) less depth to her hold than the standard 58s, and she was relaunched on 26 February 1745.
