HMS Boadicea

HMS Boadicea

Four ships and a shore establishment of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS "Boadicea" after Boadicea, queen of the Iceni in Roman Britain, whilst another ship was planned but never completed:

*HMS|Boadicea|1797|6 was a 38-gun fifth rate launched in 1797. She was used for harbour service from 1854 and was broken up in 1858.
*HMS "Boadicea" was to have been a wood screw frigate. She was ordered in 1861 but was cancelled in 1863.
*HMS|Boadicea|1875|6 was a "Bacchante" class corvette launched in 1875 and sold in 1905
*HMS|Boadicea|1908|6 was a "Boadicea" class cruiser launched in 1908. She was placed on harbour service from 1921 and was sold in 1926.
*HMS|Boadicea|H65|6 was a B class destroyer launched in 1930 and sunk in 1944.
*HMS|Boadicea II was a shore establishment and parent ship for armed patrol trawlers based at Kingstown between 1915 and 1919, and Holyhead, in 1915.

HMS "Boadicea" was considered as a name for one of the Type 22 frigates, but the name HMS "Coventry" was selected instead.
