HMS Sandfly (1794)
HMS ''Sandfly'' was a ''Musquito''-class floating battery of the Royal Navy. The two-vessel class was intended to defend the Îles Saint-Marcouf (Marcou) situated off the Normandy coast. During her brief career ''Sandfly'' shared in the capture of one privateer and participated in a battle that would earn her crew the Naval General Service Medal. The Peace of Amiens returned the islets to France in May 1802; ''Sandfly'' was paid off in June 1802 and broken up in 1803.
==Design and role==
HMS ''Sandfly'' was one of two ships designed by Sir William Sidney Smith, the other being HMS ''Musquito'', for deployment with his coastal squadron especially for the defence of the Îles Saint-Marcouf.〔
During her time in service, ''Sandfly'' was designated a sloop of 18 guns in order to increase her establishment. HMS ''Sandfly'' acted as the "vessel of convenience" for mustering the marines and other troops on the East Island of St. Marcouf; HMS ''Badger'' acted in the same capacity for the West Island.〔
