HMS Rodney was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 8 December 1809 at Deptford. The Dockyard was suffering from a shortage of seasoned timber at the time Rodney was being built. In consequence the hull was built from unseasoned wood which quickly shrunk and rotted when exposed to seawater. After just three years at sea all of the hull fastenings had given way and Rodney was returned to Deptford for decommissioning. In 1827 she was reduced to a 50-gun ship, and in 1836 Rodney was sold out of the Navy.

- Le HMS Rodney est un Navire de ligne de troisième rang de 74 canons de la Royal Navy, lancé le 8 décembre 1809 à Deptford. Le chantier naval souffrait d'une pénurie de bois sec au moment de la construction de Rodney. En conséquence, la coque a été construite à partir de bois non séché qui a rapidement rétréci et pourri lorsqu'elle a été exposée à l'eau de mer. Après seulement trois ans en mer, toutes les fixations de la coque avaient cédé et le Rodney a été renvoyé à Deptford pour déclassement. En 1827, il a été rasé en un navire de 50 canons, et en 1836, le Rodney a été vendu hors la Navy. (fr)
