HMS Jason (1763)

HMS Jason was a 32-gun frigate of the Niger-class built for the Royal Navy. Launched in 1763, she was designed by Sir Thomas Slade and built at Blackwall.

Jason saw active service during the American Revolutionary War. She participated in several notable engagements, including actions against American privateers and French naval vessels. One particular action involved the capture, or re-capture, of merchant vessels. She patrolled the waters of the Atlantic seaboard, protecting British interests and disrupting American commerce.

Later in her career, Jason was re-rated. She continued serving the Royal Navy until being sold out of service. Specific details regarding her eventual fate and disposal are somewhat limited within easily accessible historical records. However, her service during a crucial period in Anglo-American history underscores her importance as a representative of the Royal Navy's presence in those waters.
