''Ronco'' was a French ''Illyrien'' or ''Friedland''-class brig built at Venice and launched in April 1808. HMS ''Unite'' captured her less than two months later. The Royal Navy took her into service as HMS ''Tuscan''. She served in the Mediterranean and participated in one action that earned her crew a Naval General Service Medal. She was first offered for sale in 1816 and sold in 1818.
==Capture==
''Unite'' encountered ''Ronco'' at daybreak on 2 May 1808 some seven or eight miles NW of Cape Promontore, Istria. ''Ronco'' fired several broadsides that cut up ''Unite''s sails and rigging, and then surrendered. Captain Campbell of ''Unite'' described ''Ronco'' as being armed with sixteen 32-pounder carronades, and "only Two Months off the Stocks, measures about Four Hundred Tons, extremely well found, and in my Opinion, very fit for His Majesty's Service. ''Ronco'' had barely struck when ''Unite'' sighted a frigate and a schooner to windward. ''Unite'' immediately gave chase, but her quarry escaped into Pola.〔 The Royal Navy heeded Campbell and took ''Ronco'' into service as HMS ''Tuscan''.
