Name Newbury Renamed HMS Revenge, 1660 Class and type Speaker-class frigate Launched 1654 | Fate Condemned, 1678 Tons burthen 766 | |
Newbury was a 52-gun third rate Speaker-class frigate built for the navy of the Commonwealth of England at Limehouse, and launched in 1654. She was named for the Parliamentarian victories at the two battles of Newbury.
After the Restoration in 1660, she was renamed HMS Revenge. She spent some time carrying the flag of the senior captain of Prince Rupert's white (van) squadron, commanded by Robert Holmes. By 1677 her armament had been increased to 62 guns, though she was condemned in 1678, and presumably broken up.
