The Merhonour[Note 1] was a ship of the Tudor navy of England. It was built in 1590 by Mathew Baker at Woolwich Dockyard, and was rebuilt by Phineas Pett I at Woolwich between 1612 and 1615, being re-launched on 6 March 1615 as a 40-gun Royal Ship (or First rate).[1] She was then laid up at Chatham, only briefly returning to service from 1635 to 1636 before being laid up again at Chatham. She was nevertheless considered at that time to be one of the fastest ships in the Navy. In 1638 she was considered to be cut down by a deck and rebuilt with "two decks and a half", but instead she remained laid up.[1]
The Merhonour was sold out of the navy in 1650 by the Commonwealth of England.[2]
