Repulse,The 'HMS' prefix was not used until the middle of the 18th century, but is sometimes applied retrospectively sometimes written as Due Repulse, was a 40/48-gun ship of the English Tudor navy, launched in 1596.

Repulse was rebuilt in 1610 as a great ship of 34 principal guns, plus 6 smaller anti-personnel guns.

In 1613 The Repulse was appointed to escort Princess Elizabeth, daughter of James VI and I, and Frederick V of the Palatinate sailing in The Prince Royal from Margate to Ostend.[https://archive.org/details/fderaconventione07ryme/page/n437/mode/2up Foedera, 7 (The Hague, 1739), p. 189]

She was broken up in 1649.
