Mary Rose was a 24-gun ship in the service of the English Navy Royal. After commissioning she mainly served in Home waters. With the outbreak of the English Civil War in 1642 she was in the service of the Parliamentary forces, and became part of the Commonwealth of England's Navy in 1649. She served until wrecked off Flanders in March 1650.
Mary Rose was the third vessel in the English Navy Royal to be given this name, since it was first used for a ship built at Portsmouth in 1509, which was rebuilt in 1536 and capsized during an engagement with the French off the Isle of Wight on 19 July 1545; its second use was for a ship built in 1556 or 1557, which was rebuilt in 1589 and lasted until condemned in 1618.
