Seven ships of the Royal Navy have been named HMS Monmouth. Monmouth was the name of a castle[1] and is now the name of a town in Wales; the name also recognises James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth, the "Black Duke".

  • HMS Monmouth (1667) was a 66-gun third rate launched in 1667. She was rebuilt in 1700 and 1742, and was broken up in 1767.

  • HMS Monmouth was a 46-gun fifth rate launched in 1828 as HMS Hotspur. She became a chapel hulk in 1859, was renamed HMS Monmouth in 1868, and sold in 1902.
