From Wikipedia.
I originally wrote about the HMS Levant back on March 12, 2013, in connection to its capture by the USS Constitution and recapture by the British. Here is a follow up to the story.
The HMS Levant was a 20-gun Cyrus-class 6th rate and one of five vessels that the Constitution captured or destroyed during the war.
While escorting two British convoys along with the HMS Cyane, both ships were captured by the Constitution February 20, 1815. This occurred after the war had ended, but the USS Constitution was unaware of it. It was recaptured March 11, 1815.
After 1817, it was reclassified as a sloop-of-war and broken up in 1820.
