HMS Lyme was a 28-gun, sixth-rate frigate of the Royal Navy which saw service against France in the Seven Years' War. Principally a hunter of privateers, she was also intended to be a match for contemperaneous French frigates which had shown to be faster and more maneuvreable than their British equivalents. To this end her design was essentially a replica of a captured French vessel Le Tygre, with minor reductions in dimensions and armament. Over twelve years at sea she captured four French privateers and ably contributed to several actions against larger but slower enemy craft. Her record, along with that of her sister ship HMS Unicorn, provided impetus for the Royal Navy to abandon its overly conservative 1719 Establishment for vessel design, and introduce what would later be known as "true frigates" with a single gundeck and much improved seaworthiness and speed.
