Vessel facts on this page come from the infobox of the English Wikipedia article HMS Speedy (1798), retrieved 2026-10-11. We print the fields as recorded and add nothing; a missing field means the record is silent. Tonnage and dimensions were often measured more than one way in their day, so they can differ between sources.
