HMS Elephant

My flagship at the Battle of Copenhagen, 2 April 1801. She was a 3rd rate battleship with 74 guns and launched at Parson's yard, Bursledon, Hampshire in 1786.

The only action in which the Elephant took part was the Battle of Copenhagen. She remained in service until 1830, when she was broken up.
