The HMS Surprise was made famous by Patrick O�Brian, in his books on the adventures of Captain Aubrey and the surgeon Maturin, and in the movie Master and Commander.
This frigate was built as L�Unite in 1794. It was a 24-gun corvette, armed with 8lb long guns. The British captured her in April 1796 in the Mediterranean, and changed her name to HMS Surprise. She was re-armed and classed as a 28-gun ship (actually had 24 32lb carronades on her main deck, 8 32 lb carronades on her quarter deck, and 4 6 lb long guns on her foredeck).
