Asia was built at Bombay Dockyard in 1797. She made at least two voyages for the East India Company (EIC) before the Royal Navy purchased her in 1805 in the East Indies. The Royal Navy renamed her HMS Sir Francis Drake and rated her as a frigate. She served in the Java campaign of 1806–1807. When she returned to England in 1813 she was refitted as a storeship. Later, she became the flagship, at Newfoundland, for the governors of Newfoundland before the Admiralty sold her in 1825.
