Broken - HMS Poictiers

Two ships of the British Royal Navy have been named HMS Poictiers.

The first Poictiers was a 74-gun third-rate launched in 1809, participated in an action where she rescued the HMS Frolic by capturing the USS Wasp commanded by Jacob Jones in 1812, and broken up in 1857.

The second Poictiers was to have been a 2,380 ton destroyer; she was launched in April 1946 but broken up soon after.
