HMS ''Dictator'' was a 64-gun third-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 6 January 1783 at Limehouse.〔 She was converted into a troopship in 1798, and broken up in 1817.〔 ==French Revolutionary Wars== At the "Reduction of Trinidad" in 1797 ''Dictator'' participated in the later stages, not having arrived until 18 February, the prize money awarded reflecting this late arrival. On 8 March 1801, whilst disembarking the army at Aboukir Bay for the Egyptian campaign, one seaman was killed and a midshipman, Edward Robinson, fatally wounded. Prize money for the capture of enemy ships was usually shared with other warships in the squadron between 1801 and 1806. Because ''Dictator'' served in the navy's Egyptian campaign between 8 March 1801 and 2 September, her officers and crew qualified for the clasp "Egypt" to the Naval General Service Medal that the Admiralty issued in 1847 to all surviving claimants. 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 Dictator (1783)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
