HMS Imperieuse
Three ships of the British Royal Navy have been named HMS Imperiuse, a name retained from the French.
- The first Imperieuse was a French sailing frigate captured in 1793, taken into the RN as a 40-gun fifth-rate, renamed Unite in 1803, in harbour service from 1832, and broken up in 1858.
- The second Imperieuse was a wooden screw frigate in use from 1852 to 1867.
The name Imperieuse was also a later name of several other ships, and used of a training establishment in 1944 that consisted of the battleships Resolution and Revenge.
