HMS ''Cruizer'' (often ''Cruiser'') was a Royal Navy ''Cruizer''-class brig-sloop built by Stephen Teague of Ipswich and launched in 1797. She was the first ship of the class, but there was a gap of 5 years between her launch and the ordering of the next batch in October 1803; by 1815 a total of 105 other vessels had been ordered to her design. She had an eventful wartime career, mostly in the North Sea, English Channel and the Baltic, and captured some 15 privateers and warships, and many merchant vessels. She also participated in several actions. She was laid up in 1813 and the Commissioners of the Navy sold her for breaking in 1819.
==Design==
''Cruizer'' was a prototype brig-rigged sloop-of-war designed in 1796 by Sir William Rule, the Surveyor of the Navy. Her hull was identical to the ''Snake''-class ship-sloop, but she carried a pair of square-rigged masts instead of the three masts fitted in the ''Snake'' class.〔 The original design had an armament of eighteen 6-pounder long guns but it was soon decided to replace the broadside weapons with sixteen 32-pounder carronades, leaving two 6-pounders as bow chasers. The net effect was to increase the broadside weight of shot massively, at the cost of reducing her broadside's effective range.〔This was an innovation that the Royal Navy favoured at the turn of the 19th century for many small vessels.〕 This mix became the pattern for all the other, later members of her class.
