HMS Milford (1759)
HMS ''Milford'' was a 28-gun ''Coventry''-class sixth-rate frigate of the Royal Navy. She was built at Milford by Richard Chitty and launched in 1759. She was sold for breaking at Woolwich on 17 May 1785.
==Service History==
On 6 June 1776, the ''Milford'' captured the American privateer ''Yankee Hero'', a 14-gun, single-deck sloop, after a two hour battle. The Americans had believed they were chasing a merchantman, but reversed course when they came close enough to recognize the British ship of war. The ''Milford'' gave chase and caught up to the much smaller ship after about an hour, firing only bow chasers until she was able to come along and give a full broadside. The ''Yankee Hero's'' sails were shredded and almost half her crew incapacitated. Her commander, Captain James Tracy ordered the surrender when they were no longer able to either fight or flee. Four or five of the ''Yankee Hero's'' crew were killed and twelve or thirteen wounded, including the captain.
On 15 March 1779, the British warships ''Apollo'', , and ''Milford'' captured the French privateer cutter . The Royal Navy took her into service under her existing name.
