HMS Dragon (1647)

HMS Dragon (1647)

HMS "Dragon" was a 38-gun fourth rate frigate of the Royal Navy, built at Chatham and launched in 1647. The term 'frigate' during the period of this ship referred to a method of construction, rather than a role which did not develop until the following century.

By 1677 her armament had been increased to 46 guns. In 1690 "Dragon" was rebuilt at Deptford Dockyard as a 46-gun fourth rate ship of the line. She was rebuilt for a second time in 1707 at the Cuckolds Point yard as a fourth rate of 46-54 guns.

"Dragon" was wrecked in 1711.
