An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Three ships and three shore establishments of the Royal Navy have been named HMS Ceres, after the goddess Ceres of Roman mythology. Ships * HMS Ceres (1777) was an 18-gun sloop launched in 1777 that the French frigate Iphigénie captured in December 1778 off Saint Lucia. The British recaptured her in 1782 and renamed her Raven, only to have the French recapture her again early in 1783.
