HMS Dee (1832)

HMS Dee was a paddle steamer that served in the Royal Navy from June 1832 to June 1871. She was the first steam vessel planned to carry a significant armament ordered by the Royal Navy. Woolwich dockyard laid down a sailing ship as HMS Dee in 1825. This vessel seems to have been cancelled, and the paddle steamer HMS Dee was ordered in 1827 in her place. Some books state that the paddle steamer was a conversion on the stocks from a sailing vessel; this view is mistaken.
