HMS Pandour
Four ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Pandour, after the Pandurs, an 18th-century force of Croatian soldiers (e.g. Trenck's Pandurs), who served the Habsburg Monarchy as skirmishers and who had a reputation for brutality:
- HMS Pandour (1795) was the French 14-gun brig Pandour, launched in 1780, that the British captured in 1795 and renamed HMS Pandour or Pandora; she foundered in the North Sea in 1797.
- HMS Pandour, was the French 16-gun privateer ship-sloop Eugénie, which Magnanime captured in March 1798.[1] The Royal Navy renamed her HMS Pandour, but never commissioned her. In 1800 she was renamed HMS Wolf and was broken up in 1802.
- HMS Pandour was the Dutch 44-gun frigate Hector, launched in 1784, that the British captured in 1799, fitted out and transferred to the Transport Board in 1800, commissioned in 1803, converted to a floating battery in 1804, and transferred to Customs as a store hulk in 1805. The Admiralty offered her for sale at Portsmouth in May 1814.
- HMS Pandour was a 22-gun Banterer-class post ship, begun under the name Pandour in 1805, but renamed HMS Cossack before being launched in 1806; she was broken up in 1816.
