Hi,

The HMS Royal George would be a beautiful model to build.

It was launched on 18, February, 1756 as a 100 gun first rate ship of the Royal Navy. It was the largest ship at that time serving in the Seven Year's War, including being the flagship in the Battle of Quiberon Bay.

It was first ordered in 1746, firstly named Royal Anne and later being built at Woolwich Dockyard where it was renamed HMS Royal George.

She was unfortunately lost, sank undergoing routine maintenance in 1782.

Regards

Michael
