Mary Rose was a 26-gun ship in the service of the English Navy Royal. After commissioning she mainly served in Home waters. With the outbreak of the English Civil War in 1642 she was in the service of the Parliamentary Forces. She served until wrecked in a storm in 1650.[1]
Mary Rose was the third named vessel since it was used for a 60-gun ship built at Portsmouth in 1509, rebuilt in 1536 and capsized during an engagement with the French off the Isle of Wight on 20 July 1545.
