HMS Sultana

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Three, and possibly five, vessels of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Sultana, for a female sultan or wife of a sultan:

In addition, there is mention in records of two other Royal Navy vessels by the same name that may have been tenders to larger vessels.

  • In 1776, there is an HMS Sultana mentioned on the North America station, under the command of a "C. Hope".[2] She was sold in 1780.[3]
  • There was a Sultana mentioned as serving off Egypt between 8 March to 2 September 1801 and under the command of Lieutenant John Moon. She is listed amongst the vessels whose crews qualified for the Naval General Service Medal with clasp "Egypt".[4]
