HMS Cydnus (1813)
HMS ''Cydnus'' was one of eight Royal Navy 38-gun ''Cydnus''-class fifth-rates. This frigate was built in 1813 at Blackwall Yard, London, and broken up in 1816.
==Design, construction and armament==
The entire class was a version of the ''Leda''-class frigates, but built of red fir (pine), which was cheaper and more abundant than oak. Most importantly, it permitted noticeably faster construction, but at a cost of reduced durability.
To enable the new frigate to meet the American frigates on less unequal terms, ''Cydnus'', and her sister ''Eurotas'' received medium 24-pounders and an increased complement of men. ''Cydnus''s 24-pounders were of a design by General Sir Thomas Blomefield, 1st Baronet and measured 7 ft. 6 in. in length while weighing about 40 cwt. The 24-pounders on ''Eurotas'' were to a design by Colonel Congreve.
During December 1813 and January 1814, ''Cyndus'' and ''Eurotas'' actually temporarily exchanged six 24-pounders, presumably to enable both vessels to test the designs against each other. Ultimately, the Royal Navy adopted General Blomefield's design.〔Lyon & Winfield (2004), p.30.〕
