HMS Unity (1728)

HMS Unity was a Royal Navy sloop launched in 1728. She was a sixth-rate vessel of the Drake class. Details of her service are relatively sparse, but sloops of this era were typically employed in coastal patrol, anti-smuggling operations, and escort duties. The Drake class were smaller vessels compared to frigates and were designed for speed and maneuverability in shallower waters. Further information on specific engagements or significant events involving HMS Unity remains limited and requires further historical research. She likely served for a number of years before being either decommissioned, sold, or broken up, as was common with naval vessels of the period. Specific date of disposal has not been readily sourced and would require further investigation of Admiralty records and period documentation.
