French frigate Aigle (1782)
The French frigate ''Aigle'' was launched in 1780 as a privateer. The French navy purchased her in 1782, but the British captured her that same year and took her into the Royal Navy as a 38-gun fifth rate under her existing name. During the French Revolutionary Wars she served primarily in the Mediterranean, where she wrecked in 1798.
==French career==
In early 1782, Captain Latouche assumed command of ''Aigle'', which, along with the frigate ''Gloire'', under Captain de Vallongue,〔Guérin, p.433〕 ferried funds and equipment for the fleet of Admiral Vaudreil. On their way, ''Aigle'' and ''Gloire'' skirmished with the 74-gun HMS ''Hector'' in the night Action of 5 September 1782; ''Hector'' was sailing to Hallifax with a prize crew, in a convoy under Rear-admiral Graves. The reduced crew of ''Hector'' allowed the frigates to battle her in spite of her overwhelmingly superior artillery; she was saved from captured when the morning revealed the rest of the convoy and Latouche decided to retreat.〔Hepper (1982), p.70.〕〔Troude, vol.2, p.207〕
