Sinking of HMS Reindeer

The sinking of HMS ''Reindeer'' was one of the hardest-fought naval actions in the Anglo-American War of 1812. It took place on 28 June 1814. The ship-rigged sloop of war USS ''Wasp'' forced the Cruizer class brig-sloop HMS ''Reindeer'' to surrender after far more than half the brig's crew, including the Captain, were killed or wounded. The ''Reindeer'' was too badly damaged in the action to be salvaged so the Americans set her on fire.
==Prelude==
USS ''Wasp'' was one of a class of three heavy sloops of war designed by William Doughty.〔Forester, pp.168-169〕 The sloop was commissioned in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and sortied on 1 May 1814. The commander was Master Commandant Johnston Blakely, and the crew consisted of 173 hand-picked New Englanders.〔Roosevelt, p.178〕 Blakely's orders were to raid British commerce in the mouth of the English Channel, following the spectacular though short-lived successes of USS ''Argus'' the previous year.〔Forester, p.169〕
Over several weeks, Blakely captured seven merchant vessels.〔 At daybreak on 28 June, while the ''Wasp'' was chasing two more merchantmen, the brig-sloop ''Reindeer'' was seen bearing down from the windward. The ''Reindeer'' had sailed from Plymouth a few days earlier with orders to hunt down the ''Wasp''.
