HMS Wasp (1800)
HMS ''Wasp'' was an 18-gun sloop of the Royal Navy. She was formerly the French privateer ''Guèpe'', captured in 1800. She served with the British during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, and was sold out of the service in 1811.
==Capture==
''Guèpe'' was a brig built at Bordeaux in 1798 that operated against British shipping in the Atlantic. On 29 August 1800 the vessels of the British blockading squadron, which was under the command of Sir John Warren, sent their boats into the harbour at Vigo to attack and cut her out.〔
The party went in and, after a 15-minute fight, captured the ''Guêpe'' and towed her out. She had a flush deck and was pierced for 20 guns but carried eighteen 9-pounders. She and her crew of 161 men were under the command of Citizen Dupan. In the attack she lost 25 men killed, including Dupan, and 40 wounded. British casualties amounted to four killed, 23 wounded and one missing. In 1847 the Admiralty awarded the Naval General Service Medal with clasp "29 Aug. Boat Service 1800" to all surviving claimants from the action.
A prize crew took ''Guêpe'' back to Portsmouth where the Admiralty fitted her out between October 1800 and August 1801. During this time she was re-rigged.〔
