The ''Conway'' class sailing sixth rates were a series of ten Royal Navy post ships built to an 1812 design by Sir William Rule. All ten were ordered on 18 January 1812, and nine of these were launched during 1814, at the end of the Napoleonic War; the last (''Tees'') was delayed and was launched in 1817. These ships were originally designated as "sloops", but were nominally rated as sixth rates of 20 guns when built, as their 12-pounder carronades were not included in the official rating. When this changed in February 1817, they were rated at 28 guns. == Ships in class == * * * Builder: William Courtney, Chester * * Laid down: March 1813 * * Launched: March 1814 * * Completed: 26 April 1814 at Plymouth Dockyard * * Fate: Broken up at Portsmouth in 1852. * * * Builder: William Courtney, Chester * * Laid down: March 1813 * * Launched: 19 May 1814 * * Completed: 20 June 1814 * * Fate: Broken up at Portsmouth in 1833. * * * Builder: John Pelham, Frindsbury * * Laid down: May 1813 * * Launched: 10 March 1814 * * Completed: 7 November 1814 * * Fate: Sold in 1825. * * * Builder: Josiah & Thomas Brindley, Frindsbury * * Laid down: May 1813 * * Launched: 23 March 1814 * * Completed: 5 November 1814 * * Fate: Sold in 1837. * * * Builder: Jabez Bailey, Ipswich * * Laid down: May 1813 * * Launched: 5 May 1814 * * Completed: 29 October 1814 * * Fate: Sold in 1819. * * * Builder: Balthazar Adams, Bucklers Hard * * Laid down: May 1813 * * Launched: 6 May 1814 * * Completed: 6 December 1814 * * Fate: Broken up at Plymouth in 1822. * * * Builder: Josiah & Thomas Brindley, Frindsbury * * Laid down: June 1813 * * Launched: 5 April 1814 * * Completed: 8 December 1814 * * Fate: Broken up in 1853. * * * Builder: Robert Davy, Topsham, Exeter * * Laid down: August 1813 * * Launched: 20 May 1814 * * Completed: 9 November 1814 * * Fate: Sold in 1825. * * * Builder: Benjamin Hobbs & George Hellyer, Redbridge, Southampton * * Laid down: September 1813 * * Launched: 17 August 1814 * * Completed: 10 July 1815 * * Fate: Broken up at Deptford in 1852. * * * Builder: William Taylor, Bideford * * Laid down: October 1813 * * Launched: 17 May 1817 * * Completed: 30 May 1818 * * Fate: Sold in 1872. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Conway-class post ship」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
