HMS Queen was a 110-gun first rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 15 May 1839 at Portsmouth. She was the last sailing battleship to be completed before the advent of steam. She was initially ordered in 1827 under the name Royal Frederick, but was renamed on 12 April 1839 while still on the stocks in honour of the recently enthroned Queen Victoria. She was originally ordered as the final ship of the Broadened Caledonia class, but on 3 September 1833 she was re-ordered to a new design by Sir William Symonds. In 1842 she was visited by Queen Victoria.
