HMS ''Standard'' was a 64-gun Royal Navy third-rate ship of the line, launched on 8 October 1782 at Deptford.〔 She was the last of the 15 Intrepid class vessels, which were built to a design by John Williams. ==Early career== She was commissioned in September 1782 under Captain William Dickson, and recommissioned in March 1783 as a guardship at Plymouth. She was recommissioned in September 1786 under Charles Chamberlyane, still as a guardship, and paid off in February 1788. In April 1795 she was recommissioned under Captain Joseph Ellison, for Admiral Sir John Borlase Warren's squadron for the Quiberon operation. ''Standard'' sailed for the East Indies on 28 February 1796, temporarily under the command of Captain Lukin. By October she was in the North Sea. In February 1797 she was under Captain Thomas Parr, and then in September under Captain Thomas Shivers. From mid-April to mid-May, ''Standard'' was one of the many vessels caught up in the Nore Mutiny. On 5 May the crew had taken over the ship and trained cannon on officer’s country over the issue of pay in arrears. After the mutiny collapsed, one of the leaders on ''Standard'', William Wallis, shot himself to avoid trial and hanging. Her surgeon's mate William Redfern was sentenced to death for his role in the mutiny, later commuted to transportation for life to the colony of New South Wales.〔Richards, p.1610〕 She was recommissioned in February 1799 as a prison ship at Sheerness under lieutenant Thomas Pamp. In November she was fitted as a convalescent ship at Chatham. One month later she was recommissioned under Lieutenant Jacques Dalby as a hospital ship at Sheerness. 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 Standard (1782)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
