Five ships of the
Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Orford, named initially after the
Suffolk town of
Orford, but from 1697 after Admiral
Edward Russell, who was created Earl of Orford in 1697:
HMS Orford (1695) was a 24-gun
sixth rate launched in 1695. She was renamed HMS Newport in 1698 and was sold in 1718.
