French frigate Minerve (1809)
''Minerve'' was the 48-gun Portuguese Navy frigate ''N.a S.a da Vitória, a Minerva'', launched in 1788. The French captured her in November 1809 off India and took her into service as ''Minerve''. The British captured her shortly thereafter and had her broken up.
==Career==
''N.a S.a da Vitória, a Minerva'' spent the first almost two decades of her career guarding Portuguese waters. In 1807 she was part of the flotilla involved in the transfer of the Portuguese Court to Brazil.〔
In November 1809 ''Minerva'' sailed to Brazil, under Captain Pinto.〔Troude, ''op. cit.'', p. 76.〕
On 22 November 1809 she encountered the French frigate ''Bellone'', under Captain Duperré. The distance between the two ships being too great for Duperré to catch them before nightfall, he shadowed ''Minerva'' until the next morning. On 23, at 9:00, ''Bellone'' had taken a favourable position behind ''Minerva'', at pistol range. Understanding the advantage that this configuration gave to ''Bellone'', Pinto turned, but the French followed and fired a raking broadside. Pinto then turned the other way, only to receive another broadside. Eventually, ''Minerva'' ran downwind, but ''Bellone'' followed and maintained fire, until ''Minerva'' surrendered. The fight had lasted for one hour and forty-five minutes.〔Troude, ''op. cit.'', p. 77〕
