HMS Panther was a 60-gun fourth-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 22 June 1758 at Chatham Dockyard.[1]
She served during the Seven Years' War, sailing for the far east to take part in the expedition against Manila. On 31 October 1761 Panther and the Coventry-class 24-gun sixth-rate Argo captured the Spanish galleon Spanish ship Santísima Trinidad in a two-hour action, loaded with cargo valued at $1.5 million.[2]
Panther was fitted as a prison hulk at Plymouth Dockyard from 1807, and was broken up in 1813.[1]
