HMS Mignonne

Three vessels of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Mignonne, which means "dainty" in French.[1]

  • Mignonne was captured by the British in 1794 in the harbour of Calvi,[2] used briefly and then burnt in 1797 as useless.
  • Mignonne was a French navy corvette that the British captured in 1803 and disposed of in 1804 after she grounded at Jamaica.
  • HMS Mignonne (1806) was the French navy brig Phaeton, which Pique captured in 1806. She was renamed Musette in 1807 and was sold in 1814.
