HMS Asia (1811)

HMS Asia was a 74-gun third-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 2 December 1811 at Frindsbury.

War of 1812
Asia was off Chesapeake Bay in July 1814. The Royal Marine Artillery company of the 3rd Battalion, Royal Marines were ferried from Bermuda to the Chesapeake aboard Asia, via HMS Tonnant (1798). During the bombardment of Fort McHenry, Asia was moored off Baltimore, along with HMS Seahorse (1794), HMS Severn (1813) and HMS Surprise (1812). Asia was among Admiral Alexander Cochrane's fleet moored off New Orleans at the start of 1815. In support of the attack on New Orleans, 107 Royal Marines from Asia were disembarked.

In 1828 Asia was reduced to a 50-gun ship, and was eventually broken up in 1865.
