HMS Pembroke was a 60-gun fourth-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched at Deptford on 22 November 1694.[1]

Pembroke was captured by French warships in the Mediterranean in 1709,[1] recaptured in 1711, and finally sold to Spain in Genoa in 1713 and renamed Lanfranco.[2] She saw action in the Siege of Barcelona under D. Andrés del Pez and participated in the expeditions to Genoa in 1714, to Majorca in 1715, and to South America in 1716. In 1718 she captured two French privateer frigates off Montevideo.[2] She sank shortly after in Buenos Aires.[2]
