HMS Bombay was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 28 March 1808 at Deptford.[1]
On 24 January 1813 Bombay, then under the command of Captain Norman Thompson, detained the Dumpteur des Ondts.[Note 1]. She went on to be flagship of Rear-Admiral Sir John Beresford from July 1814, and of Sir Charles Penrose in 1816.[3]
Bombay was renamed HMS Blake in 1819 in honour of Admiral Robert Blake, and was converted to harbour service in 1828.

She was broken up in December 1855.[1]
