'Royal George' was a short-lived name for the Royal Navy 100-gun ship of the line launched in 1675 as 'Royal James'. After the Glorious Revolution she was renamed 'Victory', then 'Royal George' in 1714, on the Hanoverian accession, but reverted to 'Victory' the following year. She burned to the waterline in 1721 and was broken up.
