French ship Vestale (1756)
''Vestale'' was a ''Blonde''-class 30-gun frigate of the French Navy. The Royal Navy captured her in 1761, but had to scuttle her in 1778 to avoid having the French recapture her. She was refloated and sold to the French in 1784. She returned to wartime service in 1794 as a privateer. The British recaptured her in 1798 and she was broken up thereafter.
==''Vestale''==
She took part in the Battle of Quiberon Bay (November 1759).
HMS ''Unicorn'' captured her on 8 January 1761. ''Vestale'', under the command of M. Boisbertelot, had been part of a squadron of five ships that had left the Vilaine river for Brest under the cover of a heavy fog. When ''Unicorn'' encountered ''Vestale'' off the Penmarks a two-hour engagement ensued until ''Vestale'' struck. Hunt received a wound at the third broadside and died of his injuries an hour after the action ended. The British had five killed and ten wounded, the majority of them dangerously. The French had many killed and wounded, among them Captain Boisbertelot, who lost a leg, and died of his wounds the next day. Lieutenant John Symons, who took command of ''Unicorn'' on Hunt's death, described ''Vestal'' as having twenty-six 12 and 9-pounder guns on her lower deck, and four 6-pounders on her quarterdeck; she also had a crew of 220 men.
