"THE CENTURION"
HMS Centurion was a 60-gun fourth rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built at Portsmouth
Dockyard and launched on 6 January 1732. At the time of Centurion's construction, the 1719
Establishment dictated the dimensions of almost every ship being built. Owing to concerns over the
relative sizes of British ships compared to their continental rivals, Centurion was ordered to be buil
t 1 ft (0.3 m) wider across the beam than the Establishment prescribed. HMS Rippon was similarly
built to non-Establishment dimensions at the same time.
