Four ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS ''Pandour'', after the Pandurs, an 18th-century force of Croatian soldiers (e.g. Trenck's Pandurs), who served the Habsburg Monarchy as skirmishers and who had a reputation for brutality: * HMS ''Pandour'' (1795) was the French 14-gun brig ''Pandour'', launched in 1780, that the British captured in 1795 and renamed HMS ''Pandour'' or ''Pandora''; she foundered in the North Sea in 1797. * HMS Pandour, was the French 16-gun privateer ship-sloop ''Eugénie'', which captured in March 1798. The Royal Navy renamed her HMS ''Pandour'', but never commissioned her. In 1800 she was renamed HMS ''Wolf'' and was broken up in 1802. * HMS Pandour was the Dutch 44-gun frigate ''Hector'', launched in 1784, that the British captured in 1799, fitted out and transferred to the Transport Board in 1800, commissioned in 1803, converted to a floating battery in 1804, and transferred to Customs as a store hulk in 1805. The Admiralty offered her for sale at Portsmouth in May 1814. * HMS Pandour was a 22-gun ''Banterer''-class post-ship, begun under the name ''Pandour'' in 1805, but renamed HMS ''Cossack'' before being launched in 1806; she was broken up in 1816. ==Footnotes== 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 Pandour」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
