HMS ''Chanticleer'' was a ''Cherokee''-class 10-gun brig of the Royal Navy. ''Chanticleer'' was launched on 26 July 1808. She served in European waters (mainly the North Sea) during the Napoleonic Wars and was paid off and laid up at Sheerness in July 1816. She was chosen for an 1828 scientific voyage to the Pacific Ocean. Her poor condition on her return meant that the Admiralty replaced her for the second voyage in 1831 with another ''Cherokee''-class brig, ''Beagle'', which subsequently became famous because of the association with Charles Darwin. ''Chanticleer'' then spent 15 years as a customs watch ship at Burnham-on-Crouch and was broken up in 1871. ==War service== Her initial base was Great Yarmouth.
