HMS Renown was a 74 -gun ship of the line of the third rank of the America - class of the Royal Navy. It should be called Royal Oak originally, but was renamed on February 15, 1796, before their keel was laid in Renown.

The ship was launched on 2 May 1798 the shipyard of Dudman in Deptford (now part of London) from the stack. After completion, it served in 1800 and 1801 as the flagship of Admiral Sir John Borlase Warren, first in the English Channel, then even with the failed attack on Cadiz in 1801, and thereafter, with reduced armament, in the Mediterranean. During this time, the later Admiral Charles John Napier did as midshipman duty on the Renown. The ship was overhauled in 1805 in Plymouth, then knew it to 1807 again blockade service before the northern and western coast of France and then in the Mediterranean.
