Andromeda was first Royal Navy ship commissioned by that name, in September 1777 under the command of Captain Henry Byrne. On 30 May 1778 she captured and burned American privateer brig Angelica at sea while transporting General Sir William Howe back to England. It sank off Martinique in the Great Hurricane of 1780 on 11 October 1780, killing all of the crew.
