Beschreibung

The HMS Victory Ship was launched in 1765, but was not commissioned until 1778. When France signed a treaty of cooperation with the U.S., HMS Victory was made flagship of Admiral Sir Augustus Keppels Channel Fleet. In July 1778, she took part in an indecisive battle off Ushant, Brittany, where thirty-five of her crew were injured or killed. In December of that same year, she captured a French convoy off Ushant bound for America. In 1782, HMS Victory was Lord Howes flagship in the relief of Gibraltar. Paid off at Portsmouth the following year, HMS Victory remained in ordinary for eight years. In 1792, HMS Victory became the flagship of Vice Admiral Sir Samuel Hoods Mediterranean Fleet, which occupied Toulon and captured Bastia and Calvi (Corsica).
