HMS Clyde was a Royal Navy ship launched on 26 March 1796, built on Chatham Dockyard [2]. In 1797, she was one of only two ships whose captains were able to maintain some control over their vessels during the Nore mutiny[3]. In 1805, HMS Clyde was broken up but she was rebuilt at Woolwich Dockyard[1] and was relaunched on 23 February 1806. She was ultimately sold in August 1814.
