HMS Attack was launched in 1794 as a Conquest-class gunvessel for the Royal Navy. She had an uneventful career and the Navy sold her in 1802.

Career

Lieutenant Thomas Eyre Hinton commissioned Attack in February 1795. In 1795 she served in Sir Sidney Smith's inshore squadron.[1]

HMS <i>Diamond</i>, <i>Syren</i>, Sybille, Childers, and the gun-brigs <i>Fearless</i> and Attack shared in the proceeds of the capture on 6 July 1795 of the Latitia.[2]

Between July and October 1796 Attack was at Portsmouth being coppered and receiving sliding keels.[1]

Lieutenant Joseph James took command in 1798.[1] Attack spent 1799 escorting convoys in the Channel. In April she recaptured William, Rowell, master, which had been sailing from Newry to London when a French privateer had captured her.[3]

On 14 August 1800, Attack sent into Plymouth Christian, Odding, master, which had been sailing from Bordeaux to Hamburg.[4]

Fate

Attack was paid off in 1801. She was sold at Sheerness in September 1802.[1]

Crew

John Toup Nicolas began his naval career on Attack.
