High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! HMS Hinchinbrook was a Royal Navy 28-gun sixth rate frigate. She was Captain Horatio Nelson's second navy command, after the brig HMS Badger, and his first as post-captain. The Hinchinbrook started life as the French privateer Astree, built in 1778 at Nantes. Reportedly, she was armed with 20 6 pounders and four 9 pounders, and had a crew of 125 men. She had a relatively short privateering career however. A British squadron led by HMS Ruby captured her off Cape Francois, Cuba on 13 October 1778. A prize crew then took her into port where the Royal Navy purchased her for the sum of 5,650 on 1 December 1778.
