HMS Cynthia (1796) : ウィキペディア英語版 | HMS Cynthia (1796)
HMS ''Cynthia'' was a ship sloop of unusual design, launched in 1796. She took part in one medal-worthy boat action and participated in captures of a number of merchant vessels, was present at two notable occasions, the surrender of the Dutch fleet in the Vlieter Incident and the capture of Alexandria, and her crew participated in two land attacks on forts. She was broken up in 1809. ==Design== Wells & Co. of Rotherhithe built ''Cynthia'' with a shallow draught and three daggerboards (John Schank's sliding keels) for stability.〔 She was rated for 18 guns but during construction her rating was reduced to sixteen 6-pounder guns;〔 she also carried fourteen half-pound swivels, although the latter were probably replaced by a much smaller number of carronades during her career.
