History:
The Resolve was commissioned to Lord Nathaniel Blatchford on June 28th, 1819. Captain Blatchford was expressly ordered to cruise the sea lanes along the Windward Passage, there to intercept and sink or carry foreign warships and hired vessels. She took part in an engagement as part of a squadron of six frigates on June 28, defeating a Russian squadron of five frigates and a xebec. The following weeks were spent exercising her crew in manoeuvres, ship handling and gunnery, to prepare her for future independent cruises.
