} |} HMS ''Tartar'' was a 28-gun sixth-rate frigate of the Royal Navy. The ship was designed by Sir Thomas Slade and based on the ''Lyme'' of 1748, "with such alterations as may tend to the better stowing of men and carrying for guns." The ship was first commissioned in March 1756 under Captain John Lockhart, and earned a reputation as a fast sailer during service in the English Channel. She made many captures of French ships during the Seven Years' War, including 4 in 1756 and 7 the following year.〔Royal Navy history http://www.royal-navy.org/lib/index.php?title=C1751_-_1760〕 During the peace that followed, the ship sailed to Barbados carrying a timekeeper built by John Harrison, as a part of a series of experiments used to determine longitude at sea.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/view/ES-LON-00002 )〕 She also served in the American Revolutionary War, capturing the Spanish ''Santa Margarita'' of 28 guns off Cape Finisterre on 11 November 1779. She went on to see further service during the French Revolutionary War. On 14 December the French frigate ''Minerve'' captured off the island of Ivica the collier ''Hannibal'', which was sailing from Liverpool to Naples. However, eleven days later, ''Tartar'' recaptured the ''Hannibal'' off Toulon and sent her into Corsica.〔''Lloyd's Marine List'',() - accessed 1 December 2013.〕 ==Fate== HMS ''Tartar'' was eventually wrecked off Saint-Domingue on 1 April 1797. 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 Tartar (1756)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
