} |} ''Résolue'' was an ''Iphigénie''-class 32-gun frigate of the French Navy. The British captured her twice, once in November 1791 during peacetime, and again in 1798. The Royal Navy hulked her in 1799 and she was broken up in 1811. ==French service== In January 1779, ''Résolue'' was part of a squadron under Admiral Vaudreuil that captured Fort St Louis in Senegal from the British in February. The troops were under the command of the Duc de Lauzun. In September she was at Martinique undergoing repairs and refitting.〔 In April 1781 ''Résolue'' was at Brest, being coppered. On 15 July,〔 after having cruised for 50 days, the French 32-gun frigates ''Friponne'', Lieutenant le Chevalier de Blachon, and ''Résolue'' captured ''Speedy'', ''Swift'', the four merchant vessels ''Spy'', ''Adventure'', ''Peggy'', and ''Success'', and the 10-gun privateer ''Queen''.〔 The British ships were on their way to the Windward Islands.〔Austen (1935), p.47.〕 ''Speedy'', Captain Spargo, and ''Swift'', both of 16 guns and 80 men, were both Post Office packet boats. They were carrying despatches for Barbadoes, St Lucia, Antigua and Jamaica.〔 ''Speedy'', which had left Falmouth on 18 June, was the packet that the government was expecting to arrive in Britain with the news of the departure of the homeward-bound fleet from Jamaica.〔''Derby Mercury'' (29 August 1782).〕 The French took ''Speedy'' and ''Swift'' into Martinique, and the rest of the prizes into Guadeloupe.〔''Ipswich Journal (19 October 1782, "Foreign News".〕 At Martinique the French Navy took ''Speedy'' into service.〔Demerliac (1996) p.77, n°495.〕 On 6 December, however, the British recaptured ''Speedy'' off Barbados.〔Winfield and Roberts (2015), p.211.〕 In 1783 ''Résolue'' was again at Brest for repairs.〔 In November 1791, ''Résolue'' was escorting merchant ships, when HMS ''Phoenix'' and HMS ''Perseverance'' captured her at the battle of Tellicherry. ''Résolue'' suffered 25 men killed and 40 wounded. As this occurred during peacetime, the British restored her to France at Mahé.〔Demerliac (1996), p.62, #374.〕 In 1793 she was at Brest being repaired.〔 She took part in the Action of 23 April 1794, when a squadron comprising ''Résolue'', ''Engageante'', ''Pomone'' and the 22-gun corvette met a squadron of five British heavy frigates. ''Résolue'' managed to escape but the British took the other three ships. ''Résolue'', under captain Montalan, next participated in the Expédition d'Irlande. On 22 December 1796, she collided with ''Redoutable'' in Bantry Bay, losing her own mast in the accident. She sent a boat to seek help from ''Immortalité'', but it was washed up on the shore on Clough Beach and its crew taken prisoner. The boat is now a local attraction. ''Résolue'' managed to return to Brest under emergency rigging and in tow from ''Pégase''. 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 Résolue (1778)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
