She was launched in 1804 and the French captured her in 1807 at Danzig. The French Navy took her into service as ''Sans Peur'', but her subsequent fate is unknown. ==Design== She was built in Hull at the William Gibson Shipyard,〔Jackson, Hull in the Eighteenth Century, P.427 Appendix 35; 'Ships Built in Hull for the Royal Navy, 1690-1810'.〕 as one of a class of three (the others being ''Combatant'' and ''Valorous'') and launched in 1804. Designed by John Stainforth MP, they were flush-decked, shallow draught and (for their dimensions) heavily armed. Rated as a sloop, she had a design based on the Danish ''Praam'' (English ''Pram''), allowing the combination of heavy armament with a draught of only 11 feet. Her design may well have been influenced by the flush-decked, shallow draught vessels of Napoleon's invasion fleet, although ''Dauntless'' and her sisters were significantly larger. The Royal Navy rated her for purposes of command as an 18-gun sloop, but as a captain's command until 1806. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HMS Dauntless (1804)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
