The Jason was a 32-gun fifth rate Thames Class frigate, launched Woolwich 1804, she became flagship to Admiral Alexandre Cochrane in June 1805 and, serving in the Leeward Islands, enjoyed a lively career. Capturing several French and Spanish vessels (including the Naiade after a nine hour chase), she was handed over to Capt. Thomas John Cochrane (the Admiral's son) and continued much as before. Frigate actions, reducing batteries, and surviving an attempted mutiny whilst in New York, her last acts were to serve as escorts to the restored French King, Louis XVIII, and the Prussian and Russian Emperors during the peace negotiations that heralded the end of the Wars in 1815. Worn out, she was broken up shortly afterwards.
