Eleven ships and a shore establishment of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS ''Cormorant'', after the seabird, the cormorant: * was a 16-gun fireship, previously the French ''Marchault''. She was captured in 1757 and sold in 1762. * was a 14-gun sloop launched in 1776. She may have been at the Siege of Pondicherry (1778). The French captured her in 1781 off Charleston, South Carolina and took her into service as ''Cormoran''. She apparently accompanied Admiral de Grasse's fleet to the Chesapeake, however, her subsequent fate is unknown.〔Demerliac (1996), p.75, #474.〕 * was a 12-gun brig-sloop, previously the American ''Rattlesnake''.
