HMS Bravo (1794)

HMS Bravo was a 16-gun Firm-class floating battery of the Royal Navy, launched in 1794.

Bravo spent her brief, uneventful service life as the flagship for Commodore Philippe d'Auvergne's flotilla at Jersey.

Sir John Henslow designed the class on the model of flat-bottomed Thames barges.

Commodore d'Auvergne recommissioned her in July for the Jersey-based Channel Islands flotilla, of which he was the commander.

In November the Admiralty re-rated Bravo as a sixth rate to give d'Auvergne a salary more commensurate with his rank and role.
