The first ''Lougen''〔 Record card for (''Lougen'' ) at (Orlogmuseet ) but see note below.〕 was a brig of 18 guns, launched in 1791.〔 (Danish naval history website )〕 She was active protecting Danish merchant shipping and suppressing pirates in the Mediterranean and in the Caribbean. In March 1801, she fought off the British privateer ''Experiment'' and the 22-gun warship in a single action.〔''Arab'' was commanded by John Perkins, the first black commissioned officer in the Royal Navy.〕 When the British captured the Danish West Indies in 1801, ''Lougen'' was part of the booty. The British later returned her to Denmark where she was broken up in 1802. ==Service record== *April 1793 – October 1794: Danish West Indies. *1795–96: Danish home waters (Elbe and West Jutland). *1797–99: Mediterranean, in company with HDMS ''Thetis'' but not before the Battle of Tripoli (16 May 1797). The squadron of three frigates and two brigs had the duty of protecting Danish shipping from interference by the Bey of Tripoli. *1800–01: Danish West Indies.〔Carl Wilhelm Jessen was 1st officer of ''Lougen'' during the 1793–94 service, and captain in 1800–01. After the Napoleonic Wars he continued his close association with the Danish West Indies as commandant and later governor of St Thomas, He was promoted rear admiral on his retirement from the Navy on 9 June 1822. He died on 30 March 1823 and was buried on St Thomas. In 1901 his body was transferred to the Naval Church ''på Holmen'' in Copenhagen.〕 On 1 September 1800, ''Lougen'' came to the rescue of the schooner ''Den Aarvaagne'',〔The name ''Den Aarvaagne'' translates as "Alert" or "The Watchman".〕 when the latter was under attack by the British privateer ''Dreadnought''. On ''Lougen''s approach, the privateer broke off the action. Later in 1800, ''Lougen'' captured the privateer ''Eagle'' and brought the captured schooner into St Thomas. 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「HDMS Lougen (1791)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
