HMS Java (1811)
The French built frigate Renommée was taken by the English near Madagascar and renamed HMS Java. She carried 38 guns and was under the command of Captain Harry Lambert when she met the American frigate USS Constitution of 44 guns in December 1812 in what would be her last battle, which lasted for three hours. After she surrendered, the damages were so enormous that she was burned.
