The HMS Fairfax was launched in September 1653 for the First Anglo-Dutch War. Initially commanded by Captain Edward Blagg, he was replaced within three months by Captain John Lawson. After the restoration of the English monarchy in 1660, the Fairfax was commissioned into the Royal Navy under a new commander. In 1673, after thirteen years of service, she struck a sandbank off the English coast. Though refloated a month later, she was deemed unserviceable and taken to Woolwich Dockyard, where she was broken up in 1674 and her timbers repurposed for other vessels. Fairfax was a 52-gun third rate Speaker-class frigate of the Commonwealth of England, built by Peter Pett I at Deptford and launched in 1650. In the British Royal Navy, a third rate was a ship of the line which from the 1720s mounted between 64 and 80 guns, typically built with two gun decks (thus the related term two-decker).
