} |} HMS ''Pique'' was a 38-gun fifth rate frigate of the Royal Navy. She had formerly served with the French Navy, initially as the ''Fleur-de-Lys'', and later as the ''Pique''. HMS ''Blanche'' captured her in 1795 in a battle that left the ''Blanche''s commander, Captain Robert Faulknor, dead. HMS ''Pique'' was taken into service under her only British captain, David Milne, but served for just three years with the Royal Navy before being wrecked in an engagement with the French ship ''Seine'' in 1798. The ''Seine'' had been spotted heading for a French port and ''Pique'' and another British ship gave chase. All three ships ran aground after a long and hard-fought pursuit. The arrival of a third British ship ended French resistance, but while the ''Seine'' and ''Jason'' were both refloated, attempts to save ''Pique'' failed; she bilged and had to be abandoned. ==French career== ''Pique'' was built at Rochefort as the ''Fleur-de-Lys'', one of the six-ship ''Galatée'' class designed by Raymond-Antoine Haran. She was launched on 2 December 1785. The French Revolution led to her being renamed ''Pique'' in June 1792. Between 25 May and 23 December 1792 ''Pique'' was under the command of ''lieutenant de vaisseau'' d'Ancausse de Labatut. She cruised the environs of Belle Île and Île d'Yeu before returning to Île-d'Aix roads. She then sailed to observe the entrance to the Channel.〔''Fonds Marine'', p.37.〕 From 9 January 1793 ''Pique'' was under the command of ''capitaine de vaisseau'' d'Ancausse de Labatut in the Île-d'Aix roads. Then under the command of ''capitaine de vaisseau'' de Leissègues, between 7 March and 23 November 1793 she carried troops and passengers to the Windward Islands.〔''Fonds Marine'', p.64.〕 On 9 January 1794 ''Pique'' was at Rochefort before Leissègues again carried troops and passengers to the Windward Islands.〔''Fonds Marine'', p.82.〕 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 Pique (1795)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
