French corvette Var (1806)
The ''Var'' was a ship of the French Navy, launched in 1806. Though pierced for 32 guns, she was armed ''en flûte'' and served as a storeship until the British captured her in 1809. She became the transport HMS ''Chichester'', and was wrecked in 1811.
''Var'' was built to a design Pierre-Alexandre Forfait, though Jacques-Noël Sanė modified it.〔
==Career==
On the morning of 14 February 1809, , under the command of Captain James Brisbane, was about 12 leagues north of Corfu when she sighted a suspicious sail. ''Belle Poule'' gave chase and caught up with ''Var'' the next morning, finding her anchored under the guns of the fortresses guarding valona. The fortresses did not come to ''Var''s assistance so after a few broadsides from ''Belle Poule'' she struck. ''Var'' was under the command ''capitaine de frégate'' Paulin, who was sailing her from Corfu to Brindisi. The British suffered no casualties; Brisbane could not assess French casualties as most of ''Var''s officers and men escaped ashore after she struck. (A court martial on 16 April 1814 acquitted Paulin of blame for the loss of his ship.)
''Var'' was sent to Woolwich for fitting as a storeship, which took from 21 January to 23 March 1810.〔 She was brought into British service as ''Chichester''.
