  2. HMS Seine was a fifth-rate frigate, originally named Embuscade, captured from the French in 1798, named HMS Ambuscade and added to the Royal Navy, renamed HMS Seine in 1803, and broken up in 1813.
  3. Seine was a fifth-rate frigate, originally named Cérès, captured from the French in 1814, named Seine, but never commissioned, and broken up at Deptford in May 1823.
