'''''Torrington''''' was a 52-gun [[Third third-rate]] ship of the line, built under the 1652 Programme for the navy of the [[Commonwealth of England]] by Henry Johnson at [[Blackwall Yard]], [[London]], and launched in 1654. She was named for the Parliamentarian victory at the [[Battle of Torrington]] in 1646. After [[the Restoration]] in 1660, she was renamed '''HMS ''Dreadnought'''''. By 1677 her armament had been increased to 62 guns.<ref name="Lavery, SoLv1 p159" />
