The Etna class was a class of six 16 or 18-gun corvettes with a flat hull, designed by Joseph Augustin Normand. Winfield gives the names of the designers as Pierre-Alexandre-Laurent Forfait and his pupil Charles-Henri Tellier. He further describes the vessels as being flush-decked and designed to carry a 12" mortar. However, as the British navy captured Etna within a year and a half of her launch at which time she was not carrying any mortar, it is possible that the design was modified quite early.

  • The Etna class was a class of six 16 or 18-gun corvettes with a flat hull, designed by Joseph Augustin Normand. Winfield gives the names of the designers as Pierre-Alexandre-Laurent Forfait and his pupil Charles-Henri Tellier. He further describes the vessels as being flush-decked and designed to carry a 12" mortar. However, as the British navy captured Etna within a year and a half of her launch at which time she was not carrying any mortar, it is possible that the design was modified quite early. The Royal Navy captured three of the six vessels in the class. Three members of the class (including two in Royal Navy service), were lost to wrecking or grounding. Only one of the corvettes served for over 20 years.
