HMS Cambridge was a 74-gun third-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched in 1815. The ship served in various roles, including as a flagship and a receiving ship. It saw action during the Crimean War. In 1861, the ship was converted into a gunnery training ship and was moored off Plymouth, serving as HMS Cambridge. The vessel played a significant role in the training of naval gunners and hosted various experiments in naval artillery. In 1907, HMS Cambridge was decommissioned and subsequently used as a torpedo target ship before being sold for scrap in 1914.
