HMS ''Nisus'' was a Royal Navy 38-gun fifth rate frigate, launched in 1810 at Plymouth, named for Virgil's character Nisus from ''The Aeneid''. ''Nisus'' entered service in 1810 under the command of Captain Philip Beaver, and sailed for the Indian Ocean, where she participated in the squadron led by Admiral Albemarle Bertie which landed troops on Île de France and captured the island from the French in December 1810. By agreement, ''Eclipse'' and ''Nisus'' shared in the prize money for the capture of the ''Renommée'' on 20 May 1811 at the Battle of Tamatave, and one week later of the ''Néréide''. In August 1811, ''Nisus'' supported the Invasion of Java and was involved in a successful attack on the French fortified port of Cheribon, seizing the fort and defeating a French army sent to drive the British off. In September the force captured Surabaya. In 1814 command passed to Charles Marsh Schomberg and in 1815 she was laid up at Plymouth, prior to being broken up in 1822. ==Notes, citations, and references== ;Notes ;Citations ;References * (Ships of the Old Navy ) PRIOR(1819) Voyage ... to St. Helena, to Rio de Janeiro, Bahia, and Pernambuco in Brazil, in the NISUS Frigate..jpg|James Prior (1819) Voyage ... in the HMS NISUS PRIOR(1819 Chart of the Route of HMS NISUS.jpg|Chart of the Routes of HMS NISUS (1810-13) 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 Nisus (1810)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
