HMS Fame was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built at Deptford Dockyard.[1] She was constructed on the same building slip as was HMS Courageux, her keel having been ordered to be laid down on it immediately after the other ship's launch on 26 March 1800.[2] The first elements of her keel were finally laid down on 22 January 1802, and Fame was launched on 8 October 1805.[1]
