High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! HMS Atropos is a fictional 22-gun sloop of war from C. S. Forester's novel Hornblower and the Atropos, named after a Greek mythological figure. In the novel, Atropos is Horatio Hornblower's first command as a Post-Captain. The Atropos is described as a Sixth Rate built at Chatham in 1781, a ship just large enough to support the dignity of a Post-Captain. Her commission under Hornblower began in November, 1805. Atropos had a varied career under Hornblower's command, including retrieving sunken treasure off the coast of Turkey, rescuing kidnapped citizens of Malta from the Barbary Pirates of Tunis, and fighting a ship twice her size, the Spanish frigate Castilla (44).
