The ''Pauline'' was a 44-gun ''Hortense'' class frigate of the French Navy. On 27 February 1809, along ''Pénélope'', she captured the 32-gun HMS ''Proserpine'' (). In October 1809, she sailed from Toulon to escort a convoy bound for Barcelona. Chased by a British squadron under Collingwood, and sailing with ''Borée'', she managed to repel and escape HMS ''Tigre'' and HMS ''Leviathan'', and returned to Toulon after ''Amélie'' joined up. In the Action of 27 February 1809, she and ''Pénélope'' captured HMS ''Proserpine''. ''Pauline'' was then used for convoy escort in the Mediterranean. She took part in the Action of 29 November 1811, fleeing the battle while the ''Pomone'' and the smaller ''Persanne'' were captured by the British. Her commanding officer, Captain François-Gilles Montfort, was subsentquently court-martialled and relieved of command. On 11 April 1814, she was renamed ''Bellone''. She took part in the landing at Sidi Ferruch during the Invasion of Algiers in 1830, and used as a ferry the following years. ==Sources and references== * * (HMS Ambuscade website ) 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 frigate Pauline (1807)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
