The ''Lyme'' class were a class of two 24-gun sixth-rate frigates of the Royal Navy. They served during the War of the Austrian Succession and the Seven Years' War. They were built to the draught of a French privateer named ''Le Tygre'', which had been captured earlier in 1747. They were initially rated as 24-gun ships, in spite of having four 3-pdr guns mounted on the quarterdeck, as well as the twenty-four 9-pdr guns forming their primary battery on the upper deck. However, in 1756 they were re-classed as 28-gun ships. They are normally seen as the first true sailing frigates to be built for the Royal Navy. == Ships in class == *HMS ''Lyme'' * * Ordered: 29 April 1747 * * Builder: Deptford Royal Dockyard * * Laid Down: 24 September 1747 * * Launched: 10 December 1748 * * Completed: 8 February 1749 * * Fate: Wrecked off the Baltic coast of Sweden on 18 October 1760. *HMS ''Unicorn'' * * Ordered: 29 April 1747 * * Builder: Plymouth Royal Dockyard * * Laid down: 3 July 1747 * * Launched: 7 December 1748 * * Completed: 17 July 1749 * * Fate: Broken up at Sheerness Dockyard in December 1771 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「Lyme-class frigate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
