"HMS James Watt at gunnery practice in the Bay of Naples" (1861) by Tommaso de Simone

HMS James Watt was a 91-gun steam and sail-powered second rate ship of the line. She had originally been ordered as one of a two ship class, with her sister HMS Cressy, under the name HMS Audacious. She was renamed on 18 November 1847 in honour of James Watt, the purported inventor of the steam engine. (The steam engine was actually invented by Thomas Newcomen.)

She was at sea for her first trials on 4 November, though it will still be some time until her delivery to the Marina Militare (scheduled for March 2022).

The eldest of her siblings, Paolo Thaon di Revel (P 430) is also fitting out at Muggiano, while two more, Raimondo Montecuccoli (P 432) and Marcantonio Colonna (P 433) are currently on the slips at Riva Trigoso, with the former scheduled to be launched this coming December. They are the first ‘Light+’ and ‘Full’ versions of the PPA, respectively.
