HMS Wolf was a British rowing and sailing support ship from the mid-18th century. The launch of the vessel took place at the Chatcham shipyard in 1754. At the time of launching, the total length of the ship was approx. 23 m and a width of approx. 8.6 m. The armaments consisted of 10 3-pound guns and 10 0.5-pound falconets. The HMS Wolf was designed and built as an auxiliary unit capable of navigating both oars and sails. It is worth noting that for a vessel of this type it received a relatively rich sails (the so-called "snow" type). The unit underwent its baptism of fire during the Seven Years' War (1756-1763). In the course of this conflict, it took part in one of the most daring actions of the Royal Navy of the war, the attack on Le Havre, in July 1759. The attack turned out to be extremely fruitful for the British, who thus stopped the creation of the French invasion fleet intended for action against Great Britain. HMS Wolf also successfully served in the US War of Independence (1775-1783). The career of this successful unit ended in 1781, when it was sold and dismantled.
