HMS Woolwich was a 54-gun fourth rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built by Phineas Pett III at Woolwich Dockyard and launched in 1675.[1] She underwent a rebuild in 1702.[1]
On 10 June 1736 she was ordered to be taken to pieces at Deptford Dockyard, and rebuilt to the lines of a 50-gun fourth rate according to the 1733 proposals of the 1719 Establishment. She was relaunched on 6 April 1741.[2]
