HMS Guerriere (1806)
''Guerrière'' was a 38-gun frigate of the French Navy. She was later captured by the British and recommissioned as HMS ''Guerriere'', and became famous for her fight against .
Her career with the French included a sortie with ''Duguay-Trouin'' in 1803, in which the two vessels were forced to make an escape from a British ship. They were harried by British forces of varying strengths during their journey back to port and only just reached the safety of Corunna, with ''Guerrière'' being engaged by the 74-gun until she reached the entrance to the port. She sailed in 1806 with several other French ships to attack British and Russian whalers, but was chased and brought to action by HMS ''Blanche''. After a hard-fought battle, ''Blanche'' forced ''Guerrière'' to surrender, and brought her back to Britain.
Now commissioned as HMS ''Guerriere'', she went out to the West Indies and served off the American coast for a number of years. She captured a number of privateers, and was still in American waters after the outbreak of the War of 1812. On 19 August 1812 ''Guerriere'', under Captain James Richard Dacres, sighted the American frigate ''Constitution'', under Isaac Hull. The two ships closed and after a fierce engagement the American managed to shoot away ''Guerriere''s fore and main-masts, leaving her un-manoeuvrable. Dacres struck his colours to avoid further bloodshed; the Americans then transferred her crew to ''Constitution'' and set fire to the badly damaged ''Guerriere''.
