}} | HMS Ipswich was a 70-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched at Harwich on 19 April 1694.[1]She was rebuilt at Portsmouth according to the 1719 Establishment, relaunching on 30 October 1730.[2] In 1743 she was part of a small three-vessel squadron sent to the Bay of Ajaccio under Vice-Admiral Thomas Mathews to investigate reports that a single Spanish ship of the line was anchored there for repairs. On reaching the Bay the squadron, comprising Ipswich, {{HMS|Revenge|1699|6}} and the fireship HMS Anne Galley, encountered and overwhelmed the 70-gun Spanish warship Isidoro. The Spanish vessel was set on fire by her crew to avoid her being captured, and sank in the Bay. [3] Ipswich was hulked in 1757, and broken up in 1764.[2]Notes1. ^1 Lavery, Ships of the Line vol.1, p163.
