HMS Hannibal (1779)

HMS Hannibal (1779)

HMS "Hannibal" was a 50-gun fourth rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built by Adams of Bucklers Hard and launched on December 26 1779. She was subsequently captured by the French ship "Heros" off Sumatra, on January 21 1782.

She was called "Petit Annibal" to distinguish her from the eponymous 74-gun "Annibal".

She was decommissioned in 1787 and used as a hulk from 1792.
