alert是cutter级的名舰哦,"卡罗拉"只是第二个俘虏,第一个是Brig"列克星敦",
船的解剖:The Naval Cutter Alert 1777里11-12页有详细记载,详细到航海日志(偶是看到楼上的问题才临时翻到的)
偶原本是在别处看的简介,如下:
"On Friday, September 19, 1777 Alert challenged and, after two engagements with a break for repairs, eventually took the larger and more heavily armed American Brig Lexington. The main reason for the smaller Alert’s success was the fact that Lexington ran out of ammunition following engagements where she, along with the American vessels Dolphin and Reprisal, had taken fourteen prizes in the previous fourteen days. Alert took Lexington into Plymouth where she herself underwent repairs following the engagement.
In January 1778 Alert’s armament was upgraded to 12 six-pounders, retaining her swivels. She recommissioned under Lieutenant W.G. Fairfax. When Fairfax was promoted to the rank of Commander in May, Alert was re-rated to a sloop to comply with Admiralty requirements, though she was still rigged as a cutter. When France entered the war in 1778, Alert joined the British Channel Fleet under Admiral Keppel in search of the French Fleet. On June 17, 1778 along with the frigate Arethusa, Alert engaged the French frigate Belle Poule and the armed lugger Coureur. Alert engaged the lugger, which eventually struck her colours. The engagement between the two frigates was inconclusive. The Channel fleet returned to Spithead along with Alert and her second prize."
当然,毕竟是小船,运气不好起来,也没办法,后来她叫法国frigate Junon给逮住了,呵呵 |
