HMS Alert was a 10-gun cutter launched at Dover in 1777 that was converted to a sloop in the same year.Шаблон:Sfnp

On 19 September 1777, during the American War of Independence, Alert caught and engaged the American 16-gun brigantine Шаблон:USS in the English Channel. After two hours fighting, Lexington damaged AlertШаблон:'s rigging, and broke off the action, but AlertШаблон:'s crew quickly managed to repair the ship and caught up with Lexington, which was now virtually out of ammunition and unable to reply to AlertШаблон:'s fire. After a further one and a half hours bombardment by Alert, Lexington struck her colours, surrendering to Alert. Lexington had lost 7 men killed with 11 wounded, while Alert had two killed and 3 wounded.[1][2] During the action of 17 June 1778, Alert engaged the French 10-gun Lugger Coureur, and after 90 minutes, forced Coureur to strike.[1][3]

Alert was captured in the Channel by the Junon on 17 July 1778;Шаблон:Sfnp[4] French records show her serving as Alerte, a cutter of fourteen 4-pounder guns and valued as a prize at Lt 32,289.Шаблон:Sfnp She foundered December 1779 off the coast of America.Шаблон:Sfnp
