Four ships and a [shore establishment](/source/Shore_establishment) of the [Royal Navy](/source/Royal_Navy) have been named **HMS *Conway*** after the [River Conwy](/source/River_Conwy) in North [Wales](/source/Wales), formerly known by its English name of *Conway*. Two were launched as *Conway*, while another two were renamed:

- [HMS *Conway* (1814)](/source/HMS_Conway_(1814)) was a 20-gun [sixth rate](/source/Sixth_rate) launched in 1814 and sold in 1825; she became the merchantman and whaler *Toward Castle* and was wrecked in 1838
- [HMS *Conway* (1832)](/source/HMS_Conway_(1832)) was a 26-gun sixth rate launched in 1832. She became a [training ship](/source/Training_ship) in 1859, was renamed *Winchester* in 1861 and was broken up in 1871.
- [HMS *Conway* (school ship)](/source/HMS_Conway_(school_ship)) was a training establishment set up in 1859 aboard the second HMS *Conway*. This vessel was replaced by two others: - [HMS *Winchester*](/source/HMS_Winchester_(1822)) was HMS *Conway* from 1861 until 1876, when she was renamed HMS *Mount Edgecombe*. - [HMS *Nile*](/source/HMS_Nile_(1839)) was HMS *Conway* from 1876 until 1953 when she ran aground and broke her back. The wreck burned to the waterline in 1956. The school continued as a [stone frigate](/source/Stone_frigate) until 1974.
