HMS "Achille" was a 74-gun third-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy.
 She was built by Cleverley Bros., a private shipyard at Gravesend, and launched on 16 April 1798.
 Her design was based on the lines of the captured French ship "Pompée" .
 She was the fourth Royal Navy ship to be named after the Greek hero Achilles in the French style.

 At the Battle of Trafalgar under Henry William Bayntun, she was near the front of the windward column led by Admiral Lord Nelson aboard his flagship, HMS "Victory" , and captured the Spanish ship "San Augustin".
 A flag said to have been flown by the "Leviathan" at Trafalgar is to be sold at auction by Arthur Cory in March 2016 - Bayntun is thought to have given it to his friend the Duke of Clarence (later William IV), who then gave it to Arthur Cory's direct ancestor Nicholas Cory, a senior officer on William's royal yacht HMS "Royal Sovereign", in thanks for helping the yacht win a race and a bet.

The Kingdom of England was a sovereign state on the island of Great Britain from the 10th century—when it emerged from various Anglo-Saxon kingdoms—until 1707, when it united with Scotland to form the Kingdom of Great Britain.
There has not been a government of England since 1707 when the Kingdom of England ceased to exist as a sovereign state, as it merged with the Kingdom of Scotland to form the Kingdom of Great Britain.
 Kingdom of Great Britain continued from 1707 until 1801 when it merged with the Kingdom of Ireland to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, which itself became the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK) in 1922 (in reality; in name in 1927) upon independence for most of the island of Ireland.
 The UK since then has gone through significant change to its system of government, with devolved parliaments, assemblies and governments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
 England, however, remains under the full jurisdiction, on all matters, of the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the UK government as no devolved administration has been created for England within the new structure.
 This situation has led to the anomaly, known as the West Lothian question, which is that Scottish Members of Parliament (MPs) are able to vote on legislation that affects only England whereas English MPs can not vote on certain Scottish matters due to devolution.
 In some cases, such as top-up university tuition fees and foundation hospitals, the votes of Scottish MPs have been crucial in helping pass legislation for England that the majority of English MPs have opposed.
HMS Athenienne was a 64-gun third-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy.
 She was the former Maltese ship "San Giovanni", which the French captured on the stocks in 1798 and launched and commissioned as "Athénien".
 The Royal Navy captured her at or prior to the surrender of Valletta, on 4 September 1800, and took her into service as "Athenienne".
 She was wrecked near Sicily, with great loss of life, in 1806.
The Kingdom of Scotland (Scottish Gaelic: "Rìoghachd na h-Alba" ; Scots: "Kinrick o Scotland" ) was a sovereign state in northwest Europe traditionally said to have been founded in 843, which joined with the Kingdom of England to form a unified Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707.
 Its territories expanded and shrank, but it came to occupy the northern third of the island of Great Britain, sharing a land border to the south with the Kingdom of England.
 It suffered many invasions by the English, but under Robert I it fought a successful war of independence and remained a distinct state in the late Middle Ages.
 In 1603, James VI of Scotland became King of England, joining Scotland with England in a personal union.
 In 1707, the two kingdoms were united to form the Kingdom of Great Britain under the terms of the Acts of Union.
 From the final capture of the Royal Burgh of Berwick by the Kingdom of England in 1482 (following the annexation of the Northern Isles from the Kingdom of Norway in 1472) the territory of the Kingdom of Scotland corresponded to that of modern-day Scotland, bounded by the North Sea to the east, the Atlantic Ocean to the north and west, and the North Channel and Irish Sea to the southwest.
HMS "Superb was a 64-gun third-rate ship of the line of the British Royal Navy.
 She had previously been Le Superbe", a 56-gun warship of the French Navy, until her capture off Lizard Point by HMS "Kent" in July 1710.
 Commissioned into the Royal Navy in September 1710, HMS "Superb" served throughout Queen Anne's War and the War of the Quadruple Alliance, during which she participated in the destruction of the Spanish fleet at the Battle of Cape Passaro in 1718.
 She was broken up in 1732.
