HMS Sans Pareil (1794)
HMS ''Sans Pareil'' ''("Without Equal")'' was an 80-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy. She was formerly the French ship ''Sans Pareil'', but was captured in 1794 and spent the rest of her career in service with the British.
==French service==
''Sans Pareil'' was built at Brest as a , to a design by Groignard. She was launched on 8 June 1793, but spent less than a year in service with the French navy.〔 She sailed into the Atlantic in May 1794, under the command of Captain Courand, as part of a squadron under Rear-Admiral Joseph-Marie Nielly.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ageofnelson.org/MichaelPhillips/info.php?ref=1964 )〕 She was Nielly's flagship for the operation, which aimed to meet a corn convoy inbound from North America, under Pierre Jean Van Stabel. Neilly initially failed to make contact with the French convoy, but on 9 May 1794 the squadron came across a British one, escorted by HMS ''Castor'', under the command of Captain Thomas Troubridge. The squadron attacked and captured the ''Castor'', and a number of the convoy's ships. The ''Castor'' was only briefly in French hands, being retaken by HMS ''Carysfort'' on 29 May.〔
Having made contact with the approaching convoy, the squadron began the return voyage. During this, a French fleet under Admiral Louis Thomas Villaret de Joyeuse was intercepted by a British fleet under Lord Howe, and a series of sporadic actions were fought on 28 and 29 May. Neilly brought some of his larger ships, including the ''Sans Pareil'' to join Villaret, sending the convoy on ahead escorted by frigates. The fleets eventually clashed in force at the Glorious First of June, where ''Sans Pareil'' formed part of the French rear. During the battle HMS ''Royal George'', flagship of Vice-Admiral Alexander Hood, broke the French line ahead of ''Sans Pareil'', bringing down her fore and mizzen masts with a broadside.〔 HMS ''Glory'' then passed across her stern, shooting away her main mast. Disabled and unmanageable, ''Sans Pareil'' drifted out of the line and was taken by HMS ''Majestic''. Aboard her were found Troubridge and 50 men and officers of the ''Castor''.〔 They were released and helped to bring the damaged ''Sans Pareil'' into Spithead. ''Sans Pareil'' had possibly lost as many as 260 of her crew, with another 120 wounded.〔
