High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! HMS James was a 48-gun second rank ship of the line of the English Royal Navy, built by Phineas Pett II at Deptford and launched in 1634. By 1660 she had been renamed HMS Old James and her armament had been increased to 60 guns. Old James was sold out of the navy in 1682. The Royal Navy of the United Kingdom is the oldest of HM Armed Forces (and is therefore known as the Senior Service). From the beginning of the 18th century until well into the 20th century it was the most powerful navy in the world, playing a key part in establishing the British Empire as the dominant world power from 1815 until the early 1940s.
