- Merlin-class_sloop abstract "The Merlin class was a class of twenty-one sloops of wooden construction built for the Royal Navy between 1743 and 1746. They were all built by contract with commercial builders to a common design prepared by Jacob Acworth, the Surveyor of the Navy.The first two - Swallow and Merlin - were ordered on 7 July 1743 to be built to replace two ex-Spanish vessels (the Galgo and Peregrine's Prize, both captured in 1742, and put into service by the British). Although initially armed with ten 6-pounder guns, this class was built with seven pairs of gunports on the upper deck, enabling them to be re-armed with fourteen 6-pounders later in their careers.Two more vessels to the same design - Speedwell and Falcon - were ordered on 30 March 1744; another two were ordered five days later - Hazard and Lizard; four more followed on 23 May - Hinchingbrooke, Tavistock, Hound and Hornet; and three others were ordered later that year - Raven on 27 August, Swan on 6 October and Badger on 10 October. On 5 April 1745 five more were ordered - a second Falcon (named to replace the first, captured in the same year), Scorpion, a second Swallow (similarly to replace the first, wrecked in 1744), Kingfisher and Dispatch - and a single vessel - Viper was ordered on 11 April. A final pair - Grampus and Saltash - were ordered on 9 January 1746.".
