Eleven ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS ''Weazel'' or HMS ''Weazle'', archaic spellings of weasel, while another was planned: * was a 10-gun sloop launched in 1704 and sold in 1712. * was an 8-gun sloop launched in 1721 and sold in 1732. * was a 16-gun sloop purchased on the stocks and launched in 1745. The French frigate ''Boudeuse'' captured her in 1779 in the West Indies. The French took her to the French Antilles where they removed her guns for Admiral d'Estaing's squadron. They then sold her at Guadeloupe in 1781.〔Demerliac (1996), p. 72, #454.〕 * was a 14-gun brig-sloop launched in 1783 and wrecked while attempting to leave Barnstaple Bay on 12 February 1799. She vainly fired signals of distress before she broke up; her purser was the only survivor of her crew of 106 men and boys.〔Gossett (1986), p.21.〕 * was a 16-gun brig-sloop launched in 1799 and purchased that year. She was wrecked on 1 March 1804 off Cabritta Point near Gibraltar with the loss of one man of her crew of 70.〔Gossett (1986), p.40.〕 * was an 18-gun ''Cruizer'' class brig-sloop launched in 1805 and sold in 1815. * was a 10-gun schooner purchased in 1808 and on the navy lists until 1811. * was a 10-gun ''Cherokee'' class brig-sloop launched in 1822 and sold in 1844. * was a ''Dapper'' class wood screw gunboat launched in 1855 and sold in 1869. * was an ''Ant'' class iron screw gunboat launched in 1873. She became an oil fuel lighter in 1904 and was renamed ''C 118''. * was a tender, previously the War Department vessel ''Sir W. Green''. She was transferred to the Royal Navy in 1906 and was renamed HMS ''Stoat'' in 1918. She was sold in 1923. *HMS ''Weazel'' was to have been a W class destroyer. The order was cancelled in 1918. ==Citations== 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 Weazel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
