HMS Howe was launched in 1724 from the dockyards of Landon Worth. During the construction she was overseen by Sir Davis Howe of the St George Squadron of the White and so therefore was named after him. Once launched she was sent to the Mediterranean however was caught in a violent squall and so had to return to the Caribbean for much needed repairs. Being recommissioned back into service she was given to the first available Captain to take her. HMS Howe was therefore assigned to Captain Edward Jervis of the St. George Squadron of the White where she has been used in both escort duties and fleet actions when taking enemy ports.
