Three ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS ''Tartarus'', after Tartarus, from Greek mythology. A fourth was laid down, but never completed: * was an 8-gun bomb vessel, formerly the civilian ''Charles Jackson''. She was purchased in 1797 and wrecked in 1804. Because ''Tartarus'' served in the navy's Egyptian campaign (8 March to 2 September 1801), her officers and crew qualified for the clasp "Egypt" to the Naval General Service Medal, which the Admiralty issued in 1847 to all surviving claimants. * was a 16-gun fireship launched in 1806. She was reclassified as a sloop from 1808 and was sold in 1816. * was a ''Tartarus''-class paddle gunvessel launched in 1834 and broken up in 1860. *HMS ''Tartarus'' was to have been a ''Cormorant''-class wooden screw gunvessel, laid down in 1860 and cancelled in 1864. ==Sources== 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 Tartarus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
