HMS Florentina (1800) HMS "Florentina" (or sometimes "Florentia" or "Florentine"), was the Spanish frigate "Santa Florentina", built in 1786 at Cartagena, Spain. The British Royal Navy captured her on 6 April 1800 and took her into service as HMS "Florentina". She served in the Mediterranean until she returned to Britain in 1802 after the Treaty of Amiens. There the Admiralty had her laid-up in ordinary. She was sold in December.
HMS Alderney (1757) HMS "Alderney" was a 10-gun (later, 12-gun) "Alderney"-class sloop of the Royal Navy that saw active service during the Seven Years' War and the American Revolutionary War. Launched in 1757, she was principally deployed in the North Sea to protect British fishing fleets and merchant trade. In this capacity she captured two American privateers, "Hawk" in 1779 and the 12-gun "Lady Washington" in 1780. She was removed from Navy service at the conclusion of the American Revolutionary War, and sold into private hands at Deptford Dockyard on 1 May 1783. She became the whaler "Alderney" that operated between 1784 and 1797, when the Spaniards captured her off Chile.
