HMS Pomona was a 28-gun Enterprise-class sixth-rate frigate of the Royal Navy. Pomona was first commissioned in September 1778 under the command of Captain William Waldegrave.

On 17 October 1779, Pomona, together with Шаблон:HMS, Шаблон:HMS, and Шаблон:HMS participated in the successful British attack on the Fort of San Fernandino de Omoa.[1] As a result of the battle the British ships captured two Spanish prizes with a cargo of bullion worth in excess of $3,000,000.[2] Pomona and Lowestoffe also shared in the prize money for the St. Domingo and her cargo, which included 124 serons (crates) of indigo.[3]

Then on 15 June 1780, Pomona, Шаблон:HMS and Lowestoffe captured the brig Delaware, William Collins, Master. She was of 120 tons, armed with guns and had a crew of 53 men. She was sailing from Philadelphia to Port au Prince, with a cargo of flour and fish.[4] More importantly, they also captured the French navy cutter Sans Pareil, of 16 guns and 100 men, as she was sailing from Martinique to Cap-Français. She was the former British privateer Non Such.[5]

In 1795 Pomona was renamed Amphitrite[6] after the previous Шаблон:HMS was wrecked after striking an uncharted submerged rock whilst entering Leghorn harbour on 30 January 1794.

Sometime apx. early December, 1798 Amphitrite captured 2 French privateers, sending them into Barbados, and sank one.[7]

Fate

She was taken to pieces at Portsmouth August 1811.[8]
