HMS Falcon was a member of the standardize 20-gun sixth rates built at the end of the 17th century. She had a very brief career in the Royal Navy as she was captured shortly after commissioning by two French ships. She was recaptured in 1703 then broken.[1]

Falcon was the twelfth named vessel since it was used for a ballinger dating from 1343 and sold in 1352.[2]

Construction

She was ordered in the Second Batch of eight ships to be built under contract by Nicholas Barret of Shoreham. She was launched on 28 September 1694.[3]

Commissioned service

She was commissioned on 13 October 1694 under the command of Captain Henry Middleton, RN.[4]

Disposition

HMS Falcon was taken on 10 June 1695 by the French 40-gun Le Sainte-Antoine and the 24-gun Le Tigre off Dodman Point. She was retaken by the British in 1703 and broken.[5]
