Seven ships of the
Royal Navy have been named HMS Fearless:
HMS Fearless (1794) was a 12-gun gunvessel launched in 1794 and wrecked in 1804 in Plymouth Sound in the company of a dockyard lighter. Heavy weather forced both vessels to cut from
Cawsand Bay and drove them ashore near Redding Point. That only one man was lost was due to the efforts of Cawsands fishermen with
lanterns and ropes.[1]
HMS Fearless (1805) was a 12-gun
gun-brig launched in 1804 and wrecked, without loss of life, in 1812 on rocks of Cape St Sebastian near Cadiz.[2]
HMS Fearless (1837) was a wooden paddlewheel survey vessel, formerly the
GPO's Flamer transferred and renamed in 1837, and broken up in 1875.
HMS Fearless (1886) was a torpedo cruiser launched in 1886 and sold in 1905.
A fictional
man-of-war named HMS Fearless appears in the game Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag as half of one of the game's five separate "Legendary Ship" battles, alongside her sister ship, Royal Sovereign .[3]
