HMS Britannia

HMS Britannia was a 100-gun first-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy. She was built by Phineas Pett II at Chatham Dockyard and launched on 27 June 1682. Britannia was built under the "thirty ship program" that was authorised by parliament on 23 February 1677. On commissioning, she was found to be unstable due to insufficient draught. The remedial process of girdling was immediately applied. This involves applying an extra layer of planking below the waterline to increase the beam. Nevertheless, her performance remained unsatisfactory for the rest of her life.
