  • HMS Milbrook (1798), a schooner built to an experimental design by Samuel Bentham and launched 1798. Wrecked 1808.
  • HMS Milbrook (1915), an Admiralty M-class destroyer built by Thornycroft, begun November 1914, launched 12 July 1915, and completed October 1915. Sold for breaking up 22 September 1921.
  • HMS Millbrook (1982), a fleet tender used for seamanship training. Day running out of Devonport, the ship took classes of junior sailors from the training establishment HMS Raleigh.
