HMS Ossory was a 90-gun second rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 24 August 1682 at Portsmouth Dockyard. She was renamed HMS Prince in 1705.[1][3]

Prince was rebuilt as a 90-gun second rate of the 1706 Establishment at Deptford Dockyard, from where she was relaunched on 21 July 1711. She was renamed HMS Princess on 2 January 1716, and subsequently renamed HMS Princess Royal on 26 July 1728.[2]

Princess Royal continued to serve until 1773, when she was broken up.[2]
