HMS Guerrière

HMS Guerrière

Two ships of the Royal Navy have been named HMS "Guerriere", the French for "warlike".

*The first "Guerriere" was a 74-gun third-rate ship of the line, originally the French ship "Peuple Souverain", captured on 2 July 1798 at the Battle of the Nile. She was used as a sheer hulk from 1800 and broken up in 1810.
*The second "Guerriere" was a 38-gun fifth-rate frigate, originally French, captured in 1806 by HMS "Blanche" off the Faroe Islands. In the War of 1812 she was captured by the American frigate USS "Constitution" after a battle on 19 August 1812 and burned.
