From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other ships with the same name, see HMS Tavistock.
HMS Tavistock (renamed HMS Albany soon after creation) was a 10-gun Royal Navy ship launched in 1745 which, despite her small size, made a disproportionate impact on navy activity of the time, certainly outstripping the reputation of her namesake HMS Tavistock (1747) in all but size. She had several very famous commanders through her service.
