HCS Coote was a sloop-of-war that served the British East India Company (EIC) during the 19th century.Шаблон:Sfnp The Bombay Dockyard launched Coote in 1827.Шаблон:Sfnp Though the EIC built Coote, her size and armament were equivalent to the retired Cruizer-class brig-sloops.

Coote participated in the 1839 Aden Expedition along with Шаблон:Ship and the frigate Шаблон:HMS and the brig Шаблон:HMS of the British Royal Navy.[1]

Fate

Coote was lost on 1 December 1845. She had left Bombay on 22 November, and wrecked at Calicut, on the Malabar Coast, on what became known as Coote Reef (Шаблон:Coord).Шаблон:Efn Her officers and crew abandoned her as unsalvageable on 3 December. Her captain, Lieutenant J.S. Grieve, his officers, and crew all survived. All her guns, and a great deal of her stores and ammunition were saved.[2][3] The EIC was able, eventually, to get her off the rocks. The company decided to sell the hull at Calicut rather than attempt to tow it to Bombay. A Calicut resident bought the hull for 10,000 rupees, but as she was being towed on shore where her leaks might be repaired, she sank into mud and appeared a total loss.[4]
