HMS Saint Fermin (1780)
''San Fermín'' was a 16-gun private ship of war corvette of the Gipuzkoan Trading Company of Caracas. She was launched in 1779 but the British Royal Navy captured her at the Action of 8 January 1780. The Spanish recaptured her in 1781.
==British service==
At the time of her capture she was under the command of Captain J. Vin. Eloy Sanchez. Admiral Rodney sent to Britain under the escort of the captured 64-gun ship ''Guipuzcoano'' the vessels of the convoy that he had captured on 8 June that were carrying commercial goods. He took with him for the relief of Gibraltar those vessels that carried naval supplies, together with the two smaller captured escorts, ''Saint Fermin'' and ''San Vicente''. The British commissioned ''Saint Fermin'' in Gibraltar as the 16-gun sloop of war ''HMS Saint Fermin'',〔Colledge/Warlow p.352〕 under Commander Jonathan Faulknor.
Despite Rodney's delivery of supplies and reinforcements, Spain's siege of Gibraltar continued. At 1am on 7 June the Spanish launched an attack on Gibraltar by seven fireships. Boats from ''Saint Fermin'' helped tow some of these to where they could do no harm. By the firelight the British observed that some Spanish warships were waiting outside to intercept any British vessels that might try to escape. None did and the attack failed completely.
On 19 October ''Saint Fermin'' exchanged shots with some Spanish gunboats. ''Saint Fermin'' was not harmed.〔Ancell (1793), p. 58.〕
