HMS Sultana
Three, and possibly five, vessels of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Sultana, or after the feminine for Sultan:
- HMS Sultana was an American schooner built in 1767 that the Royal Navy bought in 1768 and sold in 1772.
- HMS Sultana was a mercantile cutter that the Royal Navy bought in 1780 and sold in 1792.
- HMS Sultana was a wood paddle tug that the Royal Navy bought at Constantinople in 1855.
In addition, there is mention in records of two other Royal Navy vessels by the same name that may have been tenders to larger vessels.
- In 1776 there is an HMS Sultana mentioned on the North America station, under the command of a "C. Hope".
- Between 8 March to 2 September 1801 there was an HMS Sultana mentioned as serving off Egypt and under the command of Lieutenant John Moon. She is listed amongst the vessels whose crews qualified for the Naval General Service Medal with clasp "Egypt".[1]
