HMS Brilliant was a 28-gun Enterprise-class sixth-rate frigate of the Royal Navy. Brilliant was first commissioned in July 1779 under the command of Captain John Ford. American RevolutionBrilliant was stationed at Gibraltar during the Great Siege. In June 1782 the garrison there launched 12 gunboats. Each was armed with an 18-pounder gun, and received a crew of 21 men drawn from Royal Navy vessels stationed at Gibraltar. Brilliant provided crews for six: Defiance, Dreadnought, Resolution, Revenge, Spitfire, and Thunder.[1]On 13 and 14 September and 11 October, the garrison destroyed a number of floating batteries. In December 1784 there was a distribution of £30,000 in bounty money for the batteries and the proceeds of the sale of ships stores, including those of San Miguel.[2] A second payment of £16,000 followed in November 1785.[3] A third payment, this of £8,000 pounds, followed in August 1786.[4] June 1788 saw the payment of a fourth tranche, this of £4,000.[5] Brilliant{{'}}s officers and crew shared in all four. French Revolutionary WarsBetween July 1796 and October 1798 Brilliant{{'}}s captain was Henry Blackwood. On 27 July, at Tenerife, Brilliant observed the frigates Vertu and Régénérée preparing to sail for Rochefort.[6] At 6, the French frigates sailed and started firing on Brilliant; Régénérée was closing in on her opponent when Vertu, which had sailed large, touched the wind; Régénérée imitated her manoeuver, but lost her mizzen and bowsprit, allowing Brilliant to flee. Vertu gave chase, but could not overhaul her opponent and returned to Tenerife. There, Régénérée replaced her rigging, and both frigates eventually arrived in Rochefort on 5 September.[6] On 25 August 1800, the 74-gun Impétueux, Brilliant, 16-gun ship-sloop {{HMS|Cynthia|1796|2}} and the 14-gun hired cutter St Vincent silenced a battery that was armed with eight 24-pounders. Then seamen from the ships landed to assist a large force of army troops to haul the guns up to the heights.[7] The army withdrew the same day after a skirmish with Spanish troops. On 8 September Brilliant sent the prize Dragon into Plymouth. She was a packet of 14 guns, bound for L'Orient from Guadeloupe and carrying a cargo of cocoa, coffee, indigo and cotton.[8] Napoleonic WarsOn 8 October 1807 Brilliant and {{HMS|Boreas|1808|2}} captured the Danish ships St Hans and Montreal.[9][10] On 20 October 1808 Brilliant was in company with {{HMS|Pheasant|1798|2}} and the hired armed lugger Sandwich, when they discovered the Revenue cutter Active chasing a French privateer. The British were able to capture their quarry, which turned out to be the lugger Pointe du Jour, of Roscow. She was armed with three guns and carried a crew of 30 men. Captain Thomas Smyth reported that she "has cruized successfully against our Trade."[11] FateBrilliant was broken up at Portsmouth in November 1811.[12]Citations1. ^Drinkwater (1905), p.246. 2. ^{{London Gazette|date=16 November 1784|issue=12596|page=3}} 3. ^{{London Gazette|date=12 November 1785|issue=12699|page=523}} 4. ^{{London Gazette|date=1 August 1786|issue=12774|page=347}} 5. ^{{London Gazette|date=7 June 1788|issue=12997|page=278}} 6. ^1 Troude, vol.3, p.130 7. ^James (1837), Vol. 3, p. 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.ageofnelson.org/MichaelPhillips/info.php?ref=0389|title=HMS Brilliant at Ships of the Old Navy website|accessdate=15 October 2011}} 9. ^{{London Gazette|issue=16292|page=1372|date=26 August 1809}} 10. ^{{London Gazette|issue=16294|page=1424|date=2 September 1809}} 11. ^{{London Gazette|issue=16198|date=5 November 1808|page=1506}} 12. ^Winfield (2007) References{{refbegin}}
