HMS Tartar was a 28-gun sixth-rate frigate of the Royal Navy.

Naval career

Tartar was designed by Sir Thomas Slade and based on Шаблон:HMS of 1748, "with such alterations as may tend to the better stowing of men and carrying for guns."

The ship was first commissioned in March 1756 under Captain John Lockhart, and earned a reputation as a fast sailer during service in the English Channel. She made many captures of French ships during the Seven Years' War, including 4 in 1756 and 7 the following year.
