HMS Guadeloupe (1763)

HMS Guadeloupe was a 28-gun sixth-rate Coventry-class frigate of the Royal Navy. The ship was designed by Sir Thomas Slade, and was initially contracted to be built with the Pembrokeshire shipwright John Williams of Neyland; however he became bankrupt, and the order was transferred to the Plymouth Naval Dockyard.

She served during the American War of Independence, and was scuttled in the York River, Virginia on 10 October 1781 to prevent the French capturing her. The French subsequently salvaged and commissioned her. She served until being deleted from their navy lists at Rochefort in 1786.
