- HMS Fox was a 32-gun Active-class fifth rate frigate of the Royal Navy. She was launched on 2 June 1780 at Bursledon, Hampshire by George Parsons. Fox was sent to the Caribbean in late 1781 and in January the following year under Captain Thomas Windsor captured two Spanish frigates. In March 1783 under Captain George Stoney captured the Spanish frigate Santa Catalina. Fox was at Plymouth on 20 January 1795 and so shared in the proceeds of the detention of the Dutch naval vessels, East Indiamen, and other merchant vessels that were in port on the outbreak of war between Britain and the Netherlands. In March 1797, near Visakhapatnam, Fox captured the French privateer Modeste, under Jean-Marie Dutertre. Took part in the bloodless Raid on Manila in January 1798. Because Fox served in the navy's Egyptian campaign between 8 March 1801 and 2 September, her officers and crew qualified for the clasp "Egypt" to the Naval General Service Medal that the Admiralty issued in 1847 to all surviving claimants. On 12 May 1809, Fox, Commander Henry Hart, brought into Madras, her prize Caravan, Aikin, master. Caravan was the former Cartier, Aikin, master, that the privateer French brig Adèle had captured in October 1807. Caravan had been carrying stones for building forts, arrack, coffee, and several carriages and bandies. From April to June 1812 Fox was at Woolwich Dockyard being refitted as a 16 gun troopship. In September 1814 Fox was in a squadron, with Bedford as flagship, that carried the advance guard of Major General Keane's army, which was moving to attack New Orleans. Prior to this land battle, the crew of the Fox participated in the Battle of Lake Borgne as boarding parties, and its crew were due prize money that was announced in 1821. (en)
