HMS ''Hind'' was a 24-gun sixth-rate frigate of the Royal Navy. ==North American operations== (詳細はRobert Bond, saw service on the North American Station during the Seven Years' War when she was part of a fleet that assembled in early 1758 at Portsmouth under command of Admiral Edward Boscawen for the expedition against Louisbourg. On 19 February, this fleet set sail for Halifax, arriving on 9 May. On 28 May, the fleet sailed from Halifax and arrived in sight of Louisbourg on 1 June. Throughout the siege of Louisbourg, the fleet actively supported the British Army and the fortress finally surrendered on 26 July. (詳細はPort-la-Joye on nearby Île Saint-Jean, which was also surrendered by the French commander of Louisbourg. At Port-la-Joye, British forces under Lord Rollo undertook to deport Acadian settlers from the island, as well as Acadians from Nova Scotia who had sought refuge there from the Bay of Fundy Campaign three years earlier. The ''Hind'' returned to Great Britain that fall. (詳細はSpithead as part of the fleet destined for the expedition against Québec under command of Vice-Admiral Charles Saunders. The voyage was long and tedious. On 21 April, when the fleet finally reached Louisbourg, it was to find the harbour blocked with ice, so that the fleet made for Halifax instead. The fleet finally sailed for Louisbourg in May. Between 1 and 6 June, the fleet gradually left the harbour of Louisbourg and sailed for Québec. On 23 June, Saunders' fleet made a junction with a squadron led by Commodore Philip Durell at Île-aux-Coudres. On 26 June, the whole British fleet of Vice-Admiral Saunders was anchored safely off the southern shore of Île d'Orléans, a few kilometres below Québec without losing a single ship. Québec was surrendered by French forces on 18 September following the Battle of the Plains of Abraham which began on 13 September. At the end of October 1759, Vice-Admiral Saunders fired his farewell salute and departed the St. Lawrence River with his fleet to return to Great Britain. Saunders left Captain Lord Colville in command of a small squadron, including several frigates (possibly including ''Hind''), in North America. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HMS Hind (1749)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
