} |} HMS ''Carnation'' was a Royal Navy 18-gun ''Cruizer'' class brig-sloop built by Taylor at Bideford and launched in 1807. After the French brig ''Palinure'' captured her, she was burned by the French to prevent her recapture. ==Career== ''Carnation'' entered service at Plymouth in 1807 under Commander Charles Mars Gregory, who sailed her to the West Indies in 1808.〔Winfield (2008), p. 297.〕 On 3 October, the French brig ''Palinure'' engaged ''Carnation'' 180 miles northeast of Martinique. Gregory and all his officers were killed or wounded in the opening exchanges and ''Palinure's'' crew attempted to board. ''Carnation's'' crew were mustered to resist, but a Royal Marine sergeant named John Chapman refused the order and led over 30 men below decks to await capture. The remaining crew men were outnumbered and had to surrender.〔 ''Carnation'' had lost 10 killed and 30 wounded,〔 perhaps half mortally; the French lost about 15 men killed and wounded. The French then took ''Carnation'' to Marin Bay, Martinique.〔 The French commissioned ''Carnation'' on 31 January 1809 under Ensign de vaisseau Simon-Auguste Huguet.〔Roche (2005), p.98.〕 He had distinguished himself in the engagement as Capitaine de frègate Pierre-François Jance had been debilitated by yellow fever and reportedly died within an hour of the victory after transferring to ''Carnation'', which was the better vessel.〔James (1837), pp.311-3.〕 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「HMS Carnation (1807)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
