Two ships of the
Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Oxford, after the city of
Oxford:
HMS Oxford (1656) (i) was a 26-gun
fifth-rate ship launched at
Deptford in 1656. The ship was given to Colonel Sir
Thomas Modyford, the Governor of Jamaica, in March 1667 and, under command of Sir
Henry Morgan, was blown up by accident somewhere off
Île à Vache, off the coast of Haïti in 1669.
HMS Oxford (1674) (ii) was a 54-gun
fourth-rate ship launched in 1674. She was rebuilt in 1702, and again in 1727 when she was rearmed to 50 guns. The vessel was broken up in 1758.
