HMS Anna
Two ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name Anna or HMS Anna:
- Anna (1739 ship) was an 8-gun storeship that the Navy hired in 1739 and purchased in 1741. She was declared unserviceable later in 1741 and was scuttled.
- HMS Anna (1805) was a 12-gun schooner tender named Anna purchased in 1804 and commissioned as HMS Demerara. The French captured her in 1805. However, she apparently was retaken and resumed the name Anna, another HMS Demerara (1806) having already come into service; she was broken up in 1809.
