From Wikipedia.
The last entry had the Americans transferred to the Crown Prince. I came across no listing for an HMS Crown Prince, but there was one for an HMS Crown, which most likely was the one they were on.
It was launched 15 Match 1782 at Blackwell Yard and was a 54-gun, 160-foot 3rd rate ship-of-the-line. It became a prison ship in 1798 and was broken up in 1816.
It was a prison ship in 1798, a powder hull from 1802-1806 then a prison ship in 1806 before being put into ordinary in 1815. Broken up in 1816.
