HMS Surprise was a corvette of the French Navy named Unité, built in 1794, and captured on 20 April 1796 at Annaba by HMS Inconstant. Surprise was re-classed by the British as a 28-gun sixth-rate frigate, though she carried twenty four 32 pound carronades on her main deck, eight 32-pounders on her quarter- and fore- decks and two (or four) long 6-pound cannons as chasers. Under Captain Edward Hamilton, the Surprise sailed in the Carribean for several years, capturing several privateers. She gained fame for the cutting-out expedition in 1799 of HMS Hermione. Hermione’s crew had mutinied, and had sailed her into the Spanish possession of Puerto Cabello. Captain Edward Hamilton of Surprise led a boarding party to retake Hermione and, after an exceptionally bloody action, sailed her out of danger under Spanish gunfire. HMS Surprise is an important element of the series, both because of her importance to the running plotline, and because of the emotional attachment she has earned among fans of the series.
