HMS Deal Castle was a 24-gun sixth-rate ship of the Royal Navy, purchased in 1706 and in service in West Indies, North America and English waters until 1727 when she was rebuilt at Sheerness. She commissioned after her rebuild in May 1727 and served in Home waters, North America and the West Indies. She was finally broken at Deptford in August 1746.[1][2]
Deal Castle was the second named ship since it was used for a 24-gun sixth rate launched at Deptford Dockyard on 6 November 1697 and taken by the French off Dunkirk on 3 July 1706.[3]
