Service history

Файл:Captain Alexander Hood, 1726-1814 RMG L8414.jpg
Captain Alexander Hood, her commander at the Battle of Ushant in 1778

In 1778 she was at the Battle of Ushant in Palliser's division of the fleet. Her captain, Alexander Hood, took Palliser's side in the subsequent court martial known as "the Keppel affair".

Robust was part of the fleet under Lord Hood that occupied Toulon in August 1793. With Шаблон:HMS, Шаблон:HMS, Шаблон:HMS and Шаблон:HMS, she covered the landing, on 27 August, of 1500 troops sent to remove the republicans occupying the forts guarding the port.[2][3] Once the forts were secure, the remainder of Hood's fleet, accompanied by 17 Spanish ships-of-the-line which had just arrived, sailed into the harbour.[4]

On 12 October 1798 she captured the French ship Hoche while under the command of Sir John Warren at the Battle of Tory Island. [5]

On 21 July 1801, the boats of Robust, Шаблон:HMS, Шаблон:HMS and Шаблон:HMS succeeded in boarding and cutting out the French naval corvette Chevrette, which was armed with 20 guns and had 350 men on board (crew and troops placed on board in expectation of the attack). Also, Chevrette was under the batteries of Bay of Cameret. The hired armed cutter Шаблон:Ship placed herself in the Goulet and thereby prevented the French from bringing reinforcements by boat to Chevrette.[6]

The action was a sanguinary one. The British lost 11 men killed, 57 wounded, and one missing; Chevrette lost 92 officers, seamen and troops killed, including her first captain, and 62 seamen and troops wounded.[6] In 1847 the Admiralty awarded the Naval General Service Medal with clasp "21 JULY BOAT SERVICE 1801" to surviving claimants from the action.[7]

Fate

Robust was employed on harbour service from 1812, and was broken up in 1817.[1]
