Here is a list of the 16 ships in the class and final disposition. These were quite the work horses of the British Navy, at least two of them fighting against the United States in the War of 1812:
1. LIVELY-- Launched 1804. Wrecked off Malta in the Mediterranean in 1810. (Lost on rocks off Point Coura, Malta, 26 August, 1810, all saved.)
RESISTANCE-- Launched 1805 Broken up 1858
APOLLO-- Launched 1805. Broken up 1856
HUSSAR-- Launched 1807 and accidentally burnt 1861.
UNDAUNTED-- Launched 1807, broken up 1860. Carried Napoleon to exile on the island of Elba in 1814.
