	Ship Modeling FAQ, Research Note: HMS Surprise --- Revised: July 09, 2006
		A frigate of 28 guns and 579 tons bm, the former French L'Unite, built at Le Havre in 1793-94 and captured in the Mediterranean 20.4.1796 by HMS Inconstant.
		This is the frigate portrayed in O'Brian's books, and was renamed Surprise by the Navy Board on 1.7.1796, although her actual commander from 1796 to 1800 was Captain Edward Hamilton.
		This was, indeed, a Leda Class frigate and was a sistership to the Trincomalee (and a near-sister to the Unicorn - the latter was, however, a modified design which incorporated Robert Seppings's circular stern and new "small-timber" system of construction).

	Able Seaman Webster - H.M.S. Pozarica 1942 -1943
		They were all shapes and sizes, the merchant ships formed up in their respective stations and we set sail for North Russia well escorted by destroyer, corvettes, trawlers and two ack-ack ships.
		We had a covering force of three cruisers namely, HMS London, Norfolk and the American Tuscaloosa, although we never saw them as they were supposedly astern and over the horizon.
		The convoy sailed on harmlessly for the first two days in reasonably good weather, although it was getting colder and my shipmates on watch were dressed in their rig of the day sea-boots, overalls, duffle coats and balaclavas, I was more fortunate operating in the transmitting station responsible for controlling the twin four inch guns.
