HMS San Josef (1797)
HMS ''San Josef'' was a 114-gun first rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy. She was captured from the Spanish Navy at the Battle of Cape St Vincent on 14 February 1797 (when she was still named in Spanish ''San José''). In 1809 she served as the flagship of Admiral John Thomas Duckworth.〔p.13, Sconce〕
== Battle of Cape St Vincent ==
The ''San José'' was among the Spanish fleet during the battle, during which HMS ''Captain'', under the command of Captain Horatio Nelson came out of the line to attack the ''San Nicolás''. After exchanging fire, Nelson led his forces aboard the ''San Nicolás''. While the English were fighting their way aboard the ''San José'' continued to fire upon the ''Captain'' and the ''San Nicolás''. The ''San José'' then fell upon the ''San Nicolás'' and their rigging became tangled. Trapped, the men from the ''San José'' continued to fire on the British boarding parties with muskets and pistols. Nelson then took his men from the decks of the ''San Nicolás'' aboard the ''San José'', forcing the Spanish to surrender, with their Admiral badly injured. The ''San José'' and the ''San Nicolás'', both captured by Nelson, were two of the four ships captured during the battle. After their capture they were renamed ''HMS San Josef'' and ''HMS San Nicolas'' respectively. The feat of using one enemy vessel as a 'stepping stone' to capture another was afterwards known in the Royal Navy as "Nelson's patent bridge for boarding first rates".
