HMS Ormonde was a 50-gun fourth rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built at Woolwich Dockyard to the 1706 Establishment of dimensions, and launched on 18 October 1711.[1]
In September 1715, she was renamed Dragon.[2] The next year, commanded by Streynsham Master, she was assigned to the Mediterranean Sea.[2]
In 1717, still under Master, she served with Admiral Byng's force in the Baltic Sea, capturing the Swedish Fildrim on 28 June.[2]
Between 1718 and 1725, now commanded by Thomas Scott, she served mainly off Newfoundland and in the Mediterranean.[2]
In 1726, Dragon was assigned to the West Indies station, where Scott would die 25 September, replaced by Perry Mayne.[2]
In June 1727, still on West Indies station, Mayne in turn was replaced by F. Hume.[2]
Ormonde (Dragon) finished her career in the West Indies,[2] serving until 1733, when she was broken up.[1]
