The Princess Charlotte class consisted of two 110-gun, first rate ships of the line built for the Royal Navy (RN) during the 1820s. Upon completion they were placed in ordinary and remained in that status until the mid-1830s. Princess Charlotte was commissioned in 1837 to serve as the flagship of the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet and became the only ship of the pair to see combat when she participated in the Bombardment of Acre in 1840. The ship was placed back in ordinary the following year and remained in that status until she was converted into a receiving ship for duty in Hong Kong in 1857. Princess Charlotte was sold for scrap in 1875.
