She was commissioned under ''Capitaine de frégate'' Joseph-Marie-Emmanuel Cordier. The British captured her in 1804 in a cutting-out action at Martinique. In her five-year British career ''Curieux'' captured several French privateers and engaged in two notable single-ship actions, also against privateers. In the first she captured the ''Dame Ernouf''; in the second, she took heavy casualties in an indecisive action with the ''Revanche''. In 1809 ''Curieux'' hit a rock. All her crew were saved but they had to set fire to her to prevent her recapture. ==Design== ''Curieux'' was a prototoype, and the only vessel of her class. Construction on the subsequent ''Curieux''-class brigs started in 1803.〔 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「HMS Curieux (1804)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
