HMS Donegal (1798)
The ''Barra'' was a 74-gun ship of the line of the French Navy. She was renamed ''Pégase'' in October 1795, and ''Hoche'' in December 1797. She was captured by the British on 12 October 1798 and recommissioned in the Royal Navy as HMS ''Donegal''.
==Capture==
As ''Hoche'', she took part in the French attempt to land in County Donegal, in the west of Ulster, to support the Irish Rebellion of 1798. She formed the flagship of an expedition under Commodore Jean-Baptiste-François Bompart, consisting of ''Hoche'' and eight frigates, and transporting 3,000 French troops. Aboard ''Hoche'' was Wolfe Tone, the leading figure in the Society of United Irishmen. The ships were chased by a number of British frigates after they had left the port of Brest on 16 September. Despite throwing them off, they were then pursued by a fleet of larger ships under the command of Commodore Sir John Borlase Warren. Both sides were hampered by the heavy winds and gales they encountered off the west coast of Ireland, and ''Hoche'' lost all three of her topmasts and had her mizzensail shredded, causing her to fall behind. The French were finally brought to battle off Tory Island on 12 October 1798.
The battle started at 07:00 in the morning, with Warren giving the signal for to steer for the French line and attack ''Hoche'' directly. ''Hoche'' then came under fire from . The next three British ships into action, the frigates , and , all raked the isolated ''Hoche'' as they passed before pressing on sail to pursue the French frigates, now sailing towards to the south-west. With ''Hoche'' heavily damaged, Bompart finally surrendered at 10:50 with 270 of his crew and passengers killed or wounded, giving his sword to Lieutenant Sir Charles Dashwood. Wolfe Tone was later recognised and arrested.
