HMS BEAGLE WS THE SHIP USED BY DARWIN FOR HIS VOYAGE TO GALAPAGOS ISLANDS WHICH MADE THE ORIGIN OF HIS THEORY

HMS Beagle can not be the first ship to bear the HMS title as there are several ships from the 1700s that are referred to as HMS, where the Beagle was only ordered in 1817 and launched in 1820. I believe it was during 1700s period that naming ships HMS came into practice but can not find an actual date. It is also possible of course that there is no one ship but rather a change in naming convention so that several ships were declared HMS at the same time.
