Russian frigate Liogkii (1803)

Liogkii ("Лёгкий"), or Legkiy or Legkii, was a 38-gun Russian Speshni-class frigate launched in 1803.

The Russians sold her to the French Navy in 1809, which refitted her and put her into service in 1811, renaming her Corcyre.

[1] On 27 November 1811, as she sailed escorted by Uranie and the 14-gun brig Scemplone, ferrying troops and ammunition, she encountered the 74-gun ship of the line HMS Eagle about four leagues NW of Fano.

Uranie escaped by superior sailing, the onset of darkness, and the weather, and probably was able to take refuge at Brindisi.

Eagle was forced to stay close to Corcyre to prevent her running on shore near Brindisi, which by then was only a mile and a half away.

[2] Corcyre's captain, Lieutenant Langlade, was acquitted on 16 September 1812 for the loss of his ship.
