Warships of at least corvette size (20 guns and larger) captured, destroyed or otherwise removed from British military service by enemy action during the French Revolutionary Wars (1792-1801) and Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815), including all subsidiary conflicts and contemporary actions. This list currently reflects article that I have worked on regarding the actions in which these ships were defeated. Britain lost 5 ships of the line (60-80 guns) and 20 frigates (30-56 guns) during the war to enemy action, based on a rough count of the shipping loss tables over the period.
