French frigate Pomone (1805)

The Pomone was a 40-gun Hortense-class frigate of the French Navy, built at Genoa for the puppet government of the Ligurian Republic, which was annexed as part of France in June 1805, a month after the Pomone was completed. On 30 January 1807, she collided with the Muiron.

In May 1807, Pomone, Annibal, Incorruptible and the corvette Victorieuse engaged HMS Spartan (1806) off Cabrera in the Mediterranean.

Capture and fate
Pomone was captured near Corfu during the Action of 29 November 1811 and briefly added to the Royal Navy as HMS Ambuscade, although she was never brought into service. She was broken up for material in November 1812 at Woolwich Dockyard.
