HMS Encounter (1846)
HMS ''Encounter'' was an early wooden screw sloop of the Royal Navy. She was ordered as one of a pair of ''Encounter''-class sloops in 1845, but her sister-ship, ''Harrier'', was suspended six months after the order, and cancelled in 1851. ''Encounter'' had her armament radically altered in 1850 and she was broken up at Devonport in 1866.
==Design and construction==
''Encounter'' was designed by the master shipwright of Portsmouth Dockyard, John Fincham, in 1844 and was ordered from Pembroke Dockyard on 5 February 1845. ''Harrier'', a second vessel to the same design, was ordered on 26 March 1846 but was suspended in September the same year and cancelled in 1851.
Built with a traditional wooden construction, ''Encounter'' was lengthened at Deptford Dockyard before commissioning. She was fitted with a John Penn and Sons 2-cylinder horizontal single-expansion trunk steam engine driving a single screw. Her engine was rated at 360 nominal horsepower and developed , giving a maximum speed of .〔 She was equipped with a full sailing rig.
She was armed with one 56-pounder (87cwt) gun, one 10-inch (85cwt) gun, four 8-inch/68-pounder (65cwt) guns and two 32-pounder (17cwt) carronades. By 1850 these had been changed for a homogeneous armament of twelve 32-pounder muzzle-loading smoothbore guns, and another pair of weapons were added in 1856.〔
