HMS Carmen (1800)
HMS "Carmen" (often "El Carmen", or sometimes "Carmine"), was the Spanish frigate "Nuestra Señora del Carmen", built in 1770 at Ferrol. The British Royal Navy captured her on 6 April 1800 and took her into service as HMS "Carmen". She served in the Mediterranean until she returned to Britain in 1801. There the Admiralty had her laid-up in ordinary. She was sold in December.
