HMS Hotspur was a modified {{sclass|Seringapatam|frigate|0}} 46-gun fifth rate frigate of the Royal Navy. She was built at Pembroke Dockyard and launched on 9 October 1828. She was laid up incomplete at Plymouth in April 1829. In 1859 she was recorded as being a chapel hulk based at HMNB Devonport – possibly moored at Hamoaze. She was recorded again in 1865, at the same location, as a Roman Catholic chapel hulk.Warlow, Ben, Shore Establishments of the Royal Navy, Maritime Books, Liskeard, {{ISBN|0-907771-73-4}}. She was renamed HMS Monmouth in 1868, and sold in 1902, after the Roman Catholic Church of Our Most Holy Redeemer was opened in Keyham.{{cite web|url=http://www.nmm.ac.uk/upload/pdf/Warship_Histories_Vessels_i.pdf|title=NMM, vessel ID 368732|work=Warship Histories, vol i|publisher=National Maritime Museum|accessdate=12 January 2012|url-status=dead|archiveurl=http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20110802041558/http://www.nmm.ac.uk/upload/pdf/Warship_Histories_Vessels_i.pdf|archivedate=2 August 2011}}
