Ship notes=The "Pauline" was a 44-gun "Hortense" class frigate of the French Navy.
On 27 February 1809, along with Dubourdieu's "Pénélope", she captured the 32-gun HMS "Proserpine" [http://www.pbenyon.plus.com/18-1900/P/03707.html] .
"Pauline" was then used for convoy escort in the Mediterranean. She took part in the Action of 29 November 1811, fleeing the battle while the "Pomone" and the smaller "Persanne" were captured by the British. Her commanding officer, "Capitaine de vaisseau" Monfort, was subsentquently court-martialled and relieved of command.
On 11 April 1814, she was renamed "Bellone". She took part in the landing at Sidi Ferruch during the invasion of Algeria in 1830, and used as a ferry the following years.
