The British frigate captured her in 1801; she was commissioned into the Royal Navy in 1803 and named HMS ''Charwell'' (or ''Cherwell''). ''Charwell'' served in the Channel, South Atlantic, and Indian Ocean. She was laid up in 1810 and sold in 1813. ==French career and capture== Aurore was built to a design by Charles-Henri Le Tellier.〔 From April to July 1800 she was on a liaison mission to Île de France, via Brest and Santa Cruz de Teneriffe. On 23 September she was fitted out at Brest. She then sailed again for Île de France. At the time her captain was ''lieutenant de vaisseau'' Charles Girault.〔 Roche(2005), p.40.〕 On 18 January ''Thames'', under the command of Captain William Lukin, captured ''Aurore''. She carried as a passenger the Governor’s Aide de Camp, who was carrying dispatches. She arrived at Plymouth on 6 February. She was then fitted out there between March and June 1803.〔 The Royal Navy already had an in service (as a prison ship), so renamed the prize HMS ''Charwell'' after the River Cherwell, a tributary of the River Thames. 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「French corvette Aurore (1799)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
