(Belette is French for "weasel".) - HMS Belette was an 18-26-gun French Coquette-class corvette launched in 1781, surrendered to the British in 1793 by Royalists at Toulon.[1] The British burnt her and {{HMS|Poulette|1793|2}} on 20 October 1796 at Ajaccio as the two vessels were too unseaworthy to evacuate the island of Corsica in the face of the advancing French troops.[2]
- HMS Belette was the French 12-gun brig Belliqueuse, the name-ship of her class, launched in 1793 and sold in 1797 to serve as a privateer.
