RN:
Second-rate ship of the line HMS Asia (84 guns) as the guardship of Portsmouth Dockyard, as flagship of the admiral-superintendent she flies the admiral's flag on her mizzen, unknown date
HMS Asia was one of the Ganges/Formidable-class second-rate ships of the line. While Ganges herself was based off the lines of Canopus (formerly Le Franklin of the French Navy), later vessels were further modified to the designs of Sir Robert Seppings. This includes the rounded stern so despised by many officers.
Built at the East India Company's Bombay Dockyard for £78,541 from teak. She was the flagship of Vice-Admiral Edward Codrington at the Battle of Navarino where she disabled Fahti Bahri (74-gun) and later destroyed Guerrière (60-gun), though taking casualties and heavy damage in the ensuing melee.
She would continue in active service until 1858, when she was posted as a guardship at Portsmouth Dockyard and flagship of the admiral-superintendent. A role she would hold until replaced by HMS Narcissus in 1902. During this time she was the flagship of 16 different admirals.
She would finally be sold out of the service to Adrien Merville to be broken up in April, 1908.
