HMS ''Vestal'' was one of the four 32-gun ''Southampton''-class fifth-rate frigates of the Royal Navy. She was launched in 1757 and was broken up in 1775.
==Service history==
During the Seven Years' War, on 21 February 1759, ''Vestal'', under the command of Captain Samuel Hood, was part of a squadron under the command of Rear-Admiral Charles Holmes bound for North America. ''Vestal'' was in advance of the squadron when she sighted a sail ahead, and set off in pursuit. ''Vestal'' came up to the enemy ship, the 32-gun ''Bellone'', at 2 p.m. After a fierce engagement lasting four hours, ''Bellone'' surrendered, having forty men killed, and being totally dismasted. ''Vestal'' had only her lower masts standing, and had five killed and twenty wounded. She returned to Spithead with her prize, which was bought into the Navy and renamed .〔Clowes (1898), pp. 300-301〕 The prize money for the capture of the ''Bellone'' was paid out at Portmouth from May 1760.
In June 1759 ''Vestal'' was part of Rear-Admiral George Brydges Rodney's squadron, which bombarded Le Havre destroying flat-bottomed boats and supplies which had been collected there for an planned invasion of England.〔Clowes (1898), pp.215-216 〕
On 16 March 1762 prize money was paid out at Leghorn to ''Vestal'' for the capture of the ''Marquis de Pille'' on 12 December 1760, the ''St. Antoine de L'Aigle'' on 19 January, the ''Marie Euphrosine'' on 17 April, and the ''St. Antoine de Padua'' on 17 June 1761, all in the Mediterranean.
