HMS Iphigenia (1808)
HMS ''Iphigenia'' was a Royal Navy 36-gun ''Perseverance''-class fifth-rate frigate. She was built at Chatham Dockyard by Master Shipwright Robert Seppings.
The French captured her at the debacle of Grand Port and in their service she participated in the capture of several British vessels. The British recaptured her and she served in the West Africa squadron (or "Preventative Service"), combating the slave trade. She was broken up in 1851 after serving for many years as a training ship.
==British service==
Captain Henry Lambert commissioned ''Iphigenia'' and sailed her to the Indian Ocean to join the British squadron off Isle de France (now Mauritius).〔Winfield (2008), p.158.〕 The squadron consisted of ''Iphigenia'', ''Leopard'', ''Magicienne'' and ''Néréide''. The squadron blockaded Isle de France from May, and started operations to attempt a take-over on 7 July. ''Iphigenia'' was present at the capture of ''Réunion'' the next day.
On 10 August, the squadron, under Samuel Pym, landed parties to capture the Île de la Passe and take control of Port-Impérial, initiating the Battle of Grand Port. From 23 August, the British squadron faced off against a French squadron under Guy-Victor Duperré, comprising ''Minerve'', ''Bellone'' and ''Victor''. The French had moved the buoys marking the passage through the reef, causing ''Magicienne'' and ''Sirius'' to run aground and leading the British to scuttle them by fire. ''Néréide'' was captured. ''Iphigenia'', which had been kept in reserve, attempted to flee, but French reinforcements under Hamelin - (''Vénus'', ''Manche'' and ''Créole'') - intercepted her, forcing ''Iphigenia'' to strike her colours.
