French frigate Pomone (1805)
Pomone was a 40-gun Hortense-class frigate of the French Navy, built at Genoa for the puppet government of the Ligurian Republic, which was annexed as part of France in June 1805, a month after Pomone was completed. On 30 January 1807, she collided with the French frigate Muiron.

Capture and fate

gollark: No, I mean you can't run it on the client side in a web application. You can run Python programs if you download them, but not "on a webpage".
gollark: <@514958719784583188> You can't (sanely) run Python on the client side. Only the server.
gollark: `0` != `O`, I guess.
gollark: I wrote some code yesterday and on Friday for a project. *Today* I wanted to make some changes to it, decided I didn't like it, and may have to rewrite it. Yay programming!
