HMS Rye (1696)

The HMS Rye was a 6-gun sloop of the Royal Navy, launched in 1696. Details regarding her service history are unfortunately scarce. Further research is needed to fully document her career, including dates of commissioning and decommissioning, commanders, and participation in any significant naval engagements. Existing records may be fragmented or incomplete, hence the limited information available. Information on her ultimate fate (e.g., wreck, sale, or dismantlement) is also currently lacking. Any additions to this entry with verifiable historical sources are welcome.
