HMS Fire Queen, iron paddle steamer, was built in Liverpool in 1844 for Mackey & Co, Calcutta merchants. She was bought by the Admiralty in 1847 and listed as a Fleet Tender. Based at Portsmouth, she became the tender to HMS Victory between 1854-69, then to HMS Duke of Wellington between 1870-80. The Admiralty disposed of her in 1883, the name transferred to a Special Service Yacht built in 1882.
