From Warlike
Q124762841
The Galicia, the first ship of the Spanish Navy to bear the name, was a two-deck ship of the line with gunports for 70 nominal guns, although other sources list between 70 and 74 carried guns. The ship was the lead vessel of the Galicia class. Like all Spanish Navy ships of the era with non-religious names, it was placed under the advocation of a saint, though there is no documentary evidence. According to British rating standards, the ship was classed as a third-rate ship of the line. Its namesake refers to the former Kingdom of Galicia, part of the Crown of Castile.
