HMS Bulldog was a Bulldog -class sloop designed by Sir William Symonds, Surveyor of the Navy. Originally she was ordered as a Driver -class sloop , however, under Admiralty Order of 26 December 1843 she was directed to be built to a new specification. After commissioning she sailed for the Cape of Good Hope. She then was in the Baltic Sea for the Crimean War. She carried out ocean sounding for the Atlantic telegraph. She was lost while in action with the Haitians in 1865.
