HMS Drake (1779)
HMS ''Drake'' was a 14-gun brig-sloop of the Royal Navy. She was bought from a commercial builder during the early years of the American War of Independence, and went on to support operations in the English Channel and the Caribbean. At one stage she assisted an attack on a French-held island, an expedition commanded by a young Horatio Nelson. Laid up for a time after the end of the American War of Independence, she returned to service shortly before the outbreak of the French Revolutionary Wars. ''Drake'' spent most of her time in Caribbean waters, until being declared unfit for service in 1800 and deleted from the navy lists.
