} |} The ''Express'' class was a class of two schooner-rigged advice-boats of the Royal Navy. John Henslow designed the schooners to carry dispatches. To achieve speed they were long and sharp-lined. However, the Navy did not like them and so the Navy Board ordered no more after the launch of the two in 1800. Both were commissioned in January 1801 for Jersey, and both sailed in a year or so for Trinidad. ''Express'' served until she was sold in 1813; the Navy sold ''Advice'' in 1805.〔 The Navy tried again to find a design for an advice-boat. In 1804 it ordered 18 ''Ballahoo''-class schooners. Then a year later it ordered 12 ''Cuckoo''-class schooners. Both classes were built in Bermuda. ==Ships== 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「Express-class schooner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
