HMS Albemarle was a 90-gun second rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 29 October 1680 at Harwich.[1][4]
She was rebuilt in 1704 at Chatham Dockyard, remaining a 90-gun second rater. She was also renamed HMS Union at this time.[2] She underwent a second rebuild at Chatham, from where she was relaunched on 8 February 1726 as a 90-gun second rater built to the 1719 Establishment.[3]
