| rdfs:comment | - Revenant (French: "ghost") was a 20-gun privateer corvette, launched in 1807, and designed by Robert Surcouf for commerce raiding. Her coppered hull allowed her to sail at up to 12 knots. The French Navy later requisitioned her and renamed her Iéna, after Napoleon's recent victory. The British subsequently captured her and she served in the Royal Navy as HMS Victor. The French Navy recaptured her in 1809, and she served for a year under her original name. The British again captured her when they captured Isle de France (now Mauritius) in December 1810. However, they did not restore her to service and she was subsequently broken up.
