HMS Rochester was a 50-gun fourth rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, and the fifth such ship to be ordered in 1692 (following the Falmouth, Portland, Anglesea, and Dartmouth).[3] She was launched at Chatham Dockyard on 15 March 1693.[1]
She was docked on 30 July 1714 at Deptford Dockyard for rebuilding, and was rebuilt to the 1706 Establishment there and re-launched on 19 March 1716.[3] On 27 September 1744 she was renamed HMS Maidstone, and converted for use as a hospital ship. The Maidstone was broken up at Woolwich Dockyard in 1748.[2]
