The Hermione class was a type of 30-gun frigates of the French Navy, carrying a half-battery of 12-pounder long guns on their lower deck as their main armament, and a complete battery of 6-pounder guns on the upper deck. Two ships of this type were built in 1699 on plans by Blaise Pangalo.[1] They were labelled "5th-rank frigates-ships" at the time.[1] Salvador de Menezes Drummond Furtado de Mendonça (Itaboraí, July 21, 1841 – Rio de Janeiro, December 5, 1913), known as Salvador de Mendonça, was a Brazilian lawyer, journalist, diplomat and writer.
