The '''''Crocus'' class''' were the only 14-gun class of [[Sloop-of-war#Rigging|brig-sloops]] built for the [[Royal Navy]]. The class was designed by the Surveyors of the Navy ([[Sir William Rule]] and [[Sir John Henslow]]) jointly, and approved on [[28 March]] [[1807]]. Unlike the vast majority of other British brig-sloops built for the Royal Navy in this wartime period, which were built by contractors, construction of the ''Crocus'' class was confined to the Admiralty's own dockyards. One vessel was ordered from each of the Royal Dockyards (except Sheerness) on 30 March; four more were ordered in 1808 and a final unit in 1810
