HMS Impregnable (1786)

This was in response to the Spanish Armament, and Impregnable served as flag ship to Rear-Admiral Sir Richard Bickerton from August.The ship continued in service during the Russian Armament of the following year, with her flag officer having changed to Rear-Admiral Phillips Cosby; at the end of this she was paid off in September.[2] Impregnable was recommissioned in September 1793 by Captain George Blagdon Westcott to serve as the flag ship of Rear-Admiral Benjamin Caldwell, with the French Revolutionary Wars having begun.[6] At dawn the crew discovered that she had beaten a mile and a half over the shoals and now lay in mud flats near the entrance to Langstone Harbour.A small flotilla of vessels from Langstone and Spithead dockyards was put to sea to assist, and successfully removed the crew, the ship's guns and other valuables.
