Victory, HMS The oldest warship in commission in the navy,
Victory serves as flagship to the commander‐in‐chief, Naval Home Command. She was designed as a 100-gun ship in 1759, but not launched until 1765 and only first commissioned in 1778 during the American War of Independence. She was the fifth ship of the name in the navy, wearing the flags of Keppel, Kempenfelt, and Lord
Howe before
Nelson hoisted his on 30 July 1803. As his flagship at
Trafalgar,
Victory was severely damaged, but had further service before being hulked at Portsmouth in 1824.
