Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. HMS Java was a Royal Navy 38-gun fifth-rate frigate. She was originally launched in 1805 as the Renommée, a 38-gun Pallas-class French Navy frigate. The British captured her in 1811 in a noteworthy action, the Battle of Tamatave, but she is most famous for her defeat on 29 December 1812 in a three-hour single-ship action against the USS Constitution. In May 1811, she was part of a three-sail squadron under François Roquebert, comprising Renommée, Clorinde and Néréide, and ferrying troops to Mauritius.
