After being taken into the Royal Navy as HMS ''Snap'', she participated in two campaigns that qualified her crew for the Naval General Service Medal (NGSM). She was broken up in 1811. ==French service== ''Palinure'' was commissioned on 20 May 1804 under ''capitaine de frégate'' Jance. On 1 February 1805 she sailed with dispatches to Martinique. She then took part in Allemand's expedition of 1805.〔Roche (2005), p. 338.〕 On the morning of 22 April 1808 in Grande Bourg Bay at Marie Galante, ''Palinure'' and ''Pilade'' encountered ''Goree'', under Commander Joseph Spear. In the resulting engagement ''Goree'' lost one man killed and four wounded; the French lost eight killed and 21 wounded. After about an hour ''Palinure'' and ''Pilade'' made off when they saw the schooner coming to ''Goree's'' assistance, followed a little while later by the frigate and the brig-sloop . ''Superieure'' exchanged some shots with the French brigs but the other two British vessels arrived too late actually to engage.〔James (1837), Vol. 5, pp.41-2.〕 On 3 October 1808, ''Palinure'' captured the 18-gun ''Carnation''.〔 ''Carnation''s capture was due in part to the cowardice of a large part of her crew after the loss of her captain and heavy casualties. The British later recovered and burnt ''Carnation'' during their invasion of Martinique. 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「French brig Palinure (1804)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
