Launched on 21 May 1797, ''GB No. 21'' was renamed HMS ''Defender'' on 7 August the same year. She was a 12-gun built for the British Royal Navy at Limehouse and disposed of in 1802. ==Design and construction == The ''Courser'' class was designed by Sir William Rule, the Surveyor of the Navy and although at first intended as gunboats, and therefore only had numbers, on 7 August 1797 they were reclassified as gun-brigs, and were given names. The class were fitted with a Schank sliding keel〔 and armed with ten 18-pounder carronades and two long 24-pounders.〔Rif Winfield, ''British Warships in the Age of Sail 1793-1817: Design, Construction, Careers and Fates''. 2nd edition, Seaforth Publishing, 2008. ISBN 978-1-84415-717-4.〕 ''Defender'' also shared with the sloop and the gunboats , and in the proceeds of the capture of the ''Hell Hound''. This may have occurred on 7 October when ''Dart'', ''Defender'', ''Cracker'', ''Hasty'', and the schuyt ''Isis'' cut out four gunboats from the Pampus, in the Zuiderzee. Three of the gunboats were schuyts, but one was a new, purpose-built gunboat armed with two 18-pounder guns in her bow and two 18-pounder carronades in her broadside. The three schuyts also carried four guns and carronades each. The vessels had crews ranging in size from 20 to 30 men. The British suffered no casualties.〔''Naval Chronicle'', Vol. 3, p.141.〕
