HMS Stag was a 44-gun Seringapatam-class fifth-rate frigate built for the Royal Navy during the 1820s, one of three ships of the Andromeda sub-class.
The Andromeda sub-class was a slightly enlarged and improved version of the Druid sub-class, with a more powerful armament.[1] Stag had a length at the gundeck of 159 feet 3 inches (48.5 m) and 133 feet 3 inches (40.6 m) at the keel. She had a beam of 42 feet (12.8 m), a draught of 14 feet 8 inches (4.5 m) and a depth of hold of 13 feet 3 inches (4.0 m). The ship's tonnage was 1167 42⁄94 tons burthen.[2] The Andromeda sub-class was armed with twenty-six 18-pounder cannon on her gundeck, ten 32-pounder carronades and a pair of 68-pounder guns on her quarterdeck and four more 32-pounder carronades in the forecastle. The ships had a crew of 315 officers and ratings.[3]
Stag, the fourth ship of her name to serve in the Royal Navy,[4] was ordered on 9 January 1823, laid down in April 1828 at Pembroke Dockyard, Wales, and launched on 2 October 1830.[3] She was completed for ordinary at Plymouth Dockyard in October 1830. The ship was commissioned on 15 April 1831 and ready for sea by 9 July.[2]
