HMS Oxford
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Two ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Oxford, after the city of Oxford:
- HMS Oxford (i) was a 26-gun Fifth Rate ship launched at Deptford in 1656. She was given to Col. Sir Thomas Modyford, the Governor of Jamaica, in March 1667 and, under command of Sir Henry Morgan, was blown up by accident somewhere off Île à Vache, off the coast of Haïti in 1669.
- HMS Oxford (ii) was a 54-gun Fourth Rate ship launched in 1674. She was rebuilt in 1702, and again in 1727 when she was rearmed to 50 guns. She was broken up in 1758.
