HMS Druid (1783)
HMS ''Druid'' was a 32-gun ''Hermione''-class fifth-rate frigate of the Royal Navy, launched in 1783 at Bristol. She served in the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars, capturing numerous small prizes. One of her commanders, Captain Philip Broke, described ''Druid'' as a "point of honour ship", i.e., a ship too large to run but too small to fight. He and his biographer's view was that it was a disgrace to use a ship like her as a warship.〔Brighton and Broke (1866), p.56.〕 She was broken up in 1813, after a thirty-year career.
==Career==
''Druid'' entered service in 1783 under the command of Captain John MacBride. He was succeeded the following year by Captain George Byron, who commanded her off Land's End.〔Winfield (2007), p.212.〕 Captain Joseph Ellison replaced Byron in 1785, and remained in command for the next ten years.〔 ''Druid'' served as a Royal escort between 1785 and 1788, returning to service in 1791 after a period paid off and under refit.〔
