High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! HMS Badger was a brig in service with the Royal Navy in the late eighteenth century. She is famous as the first Royal Navy ship to be commanded by Horatio Nelson. The Badger was one of a number of ships purchased for service on the North American and West Indies Station during the American Revolutionary War. She was previously an American merchant vessel, the Defence, and had been purchased in Jamaica in November 1777 for the sum of 1,540. She replaced an earlier HMS Badger that had been bought the previous year but condemned as unfit for service in 1777. Little is known about her specifications, but she probably carried 12 guns, and was apparently 'capable of carrying 16 guns'.
