Sovereign of the Seas was ordered as a 90-gun first rank ship of the line of the English Royal Navy, but at launch was armed with 102 bronze guns, at the insistence of the king. She was later renamed Sovereign, and then Royal Sovereign. The ship was launched on 13 October 1637 and served from 1638 until 1697, when a fire burned the ship to the waterline at Chatham. She was the most extravagantly decorated warship in the Royal Navy, completely adorned from stern to bow with gilded carvings. She carried 102 bronze cannon (King Charles explicitly ordered such a high number) and was tby at the time the most powerfully armed ship in the world. The Sovereign of the Seas was not so much built because of tactical considerations, but as a deliberate attempt to bolster the reputation of the English crown. Her name was in itself a political statement as Charles tried to revive the perceived ancient right of the English kings to be recognized as the 'lords of the seas.' English ships demanded that other ships strike their flags in salute, even in foreign ports. Shipping & handling : Extremely fast shipping.
