HMS Defiance was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built by Randall and Co., at Rotherhithe on the River Thames, and launched on 10 December 1783. Her crew mutinied three times, firstly in October 1795, when she was under the command of Captain Sir George Horne. Captain William Bligh of the Calcutta was ordered to embark 200 troops and take them alongside in order for the troops to board Defiance and regain control, however the threat of the soldiers was sufficient to bring about an end to the mutiny. The crew of the Defiance mutinied for a second time in 1797 during the Spithead mutiny, and again in 1798 during the rising of the United Irishmen.
