At least four vessels of the
Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Mullett, Mullet, or Mulette.
HMS Mulette (1793) or Mullet was the French Dromadaire-class Mulet, launched c. May 1782 based on plans by Jean-Joseph Ginoux, originally classed as a barge and then as a flûte (1784). She was armed with eighteen to twenty 6 or 8-pounder guns. The British captured her at Toulon in 1793 and commissioned her as the sloop Mulette (or Mullet). She was broken up in 1796.[1]
HMS Mullett (1860) was a
Philomel-class wooden screw gunvessel launched in 1860, sold on 25 April 1872 at Hong Kong for mercantile use and renamed Formosa.
