HMS Nymphe: Lively-Class Frigates-- Part 9

Wikipedia.

The HMS Nymphe may refer to the 36-gun, fifth rate frigate which was captured from the Dutch in 1807 and was to have been renamed the HMS Determinee, but did not happen. Sold in 1816.

Or, it may refer to the HMS NYMPHE, a 38-gun, fifth rate frigate originally built as the HMS Neriede but renamed in 1811 and launched in 1812. Placed in harbor service in 1836 and renamed HMS Handy in 1871 before broken up in 1875.

This last one was most likely the Lively-Class frigate.
