Q28457838
HMS Chesterfield was a 44-gun fifth-rate ship of the Royal Navy which saw active service in both the War of the Austrian Succession and the Seven Years' War. Built to an antiquated design, she was commissioned into service in 1745 and assigned to the Navy's Western Squadron guarding the English Channel and the nearby waters to protect merchant vessels en route to English ports. In 1747 she secured her first victory at sea with the capture of a 10-gun Spanish privateer.
