Eight ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS ''Seagull'' or HMS ''Sea Gull'', after the gull:〔The underlying reason is that around 1810, +/- a decade, English spelling for a number of words changed abruptly. Until 1800-10s, notices in the ''London Gazette used the spelling ''Sea Gull''; afterwards they used the spelling ''Seagull''.〕 * was a 16-gun brig-sloop that disappeared in the English Channel in February 1805.〔Hepper (1994), p.110.〕 * was a 16-gun that the Danes captured in 1808; she sank but the Danes recovered her and returned her to service. After the separation of Norway from Denmark, the she transferred to the Norwegian Navy, which decommissioned her in 1817. * was a 16-gun brig-sloop, formerly the French ''Sylphe''. The Royal Navy captured her in 1808 and sold her in 1814. * was a 12-gun schooner broken up in 1856. * was an ''Albacore''-class wooden screw gunboat sold in 1864. * was a sold in 1887. * was a converted to a minesweeper in 1909 and was sunk in a collision in 1918. * was a ''Halcyon''-class minesweeper launched in 1937. She became a survey ship in 1945 and was broken up in 1956. In addition, in 1796 when the British captured Demerara, they captured, among other vessels, a 12-gun cutter, the ''Zeemeeuw'' (''Seagull''), which they took into service as ''Seagull'' and put under the command of a Lieutenant Lloyd; she apparently foundered soon after. She was possibly the 8th Charter ''Zeemeeuw'', built at Zeeland and launched c.1781, which disappears from the Dutch records in 1796. Her dimensions, in Dutch feet of 11 Rotterdam inches, were 58'½ x 20' x 7' 7/11".〔van Maanen.〕 ==See also== *Revenue cutters ''Seagull'' and ''Fox'' captured the French privateer ''Friedland'' on 15 October 1807. ''Friedland'' was armed with two guns and small arms, and had a crew of 35 men. She was two days out of Cherbourg and had made no captures. The revenue cutters took her into Cowes.〔''Lloyd's Marine List'',() - accessed 30 November 2013.〕 *There may have been a HM Revenue cutter ''Seagull'' launched in 1814 and in service until 1825. *RMAS ''Seagull'' 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 Seagull」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
