The '''''CameleonCamelion'' class''' was a class of screw-driven [[Sloop-of-war|sloops]] of wood construction, designed by Isaac Watts and operated by the [[Royal Navy]]. Eight ships of the class were built from 1858 to 1866 with another eight cancelled. They were initially rated as second-class sloops, but were later reclassified as [[corvette]]s.
