} |} HMS ''Carysfort'' was a 28-gun ''Coventry''-class sixth-rate frigate of the Royal Navy. She served during the American War of Independence, the French Revolutionary and the Napoleonic Wars in a career that spanned over forty years. She had a number of notable commanders during this period, and saw action in several single-ship actions against French and American opponents. She took several privateers during the American War of Independence, though one of her most notable actions was the recapture of , a Royal Navy frigate that a French squadron had captured nearly three weeks earlier and a French prize crew was sailing to France. ''Carysfort'' engaged and forced the surrender of her larger opponent, restoring ''Castor'' to the British, though not without a controversy over the issue of prize money. ''Carysfort'' spent the later French Revolutionary and early Napoleonic Wars on stations in the East and later the West Indies. ''Carysfort'' returned to Britain in 1806 where she was laid up in ordinary. The Admiralty finally sold her in 1813. ==Construction and commissioning== The Admiralty ordered ''Carysfort'' from Sheerness Dockyard in February 1764 and laid down there in June that year.〔 Master shipwright John Williams oversaw her construction until June 1765, and William Gray took over until her completion. She was named on 29 July 1765 and launched on 23 August 1766. She was completed by 11 August 1767, after the expenditure of £11,101 14s 11d to build, plus £1,614 13s 3d on fitting her out. 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 Carysfort (1766)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
