HDMS Lougen
From Warlike
HDMS Lougen was an 18-gun brig of the Royal Dano-Norwegian Navy. Launched in 1791, she was the lead ship of her class, designed by the shipwright Ernst Stibolt. She was the first Danish warship to be copper-sheathed. She was active protecting Danish merchant shipping and suppressing piracy in the Mediterranean and Caribbean. In March 1801, she fought off the British privateer Experiment and 22-gun post ship HMS Arab in the Battle of West Kay. When the British captured the Danish West Indies in 1801, Lougen was part of the booty. The British later returned her to Denmark where she was broken up in 1802.
