HMS Jahde (1809)
HMS Jahde was a Dutch schuyt of six guns and 47 tons burthen that the Royal Navy captured in 1809 and took into service.[1] She was the only vessel of her name to serve in the Royal Navy. No vessel by that name appears in Colledge & Barlow (2006). She served until she was sold in 1815.[1]

On 24 August 1809, Jahde was in company with Patriot, the schooner Paz, and two boats detached from Brev Drageren and Censor. Together they captured property at Harlinger Zyl, together with a Danish privateer and a mutt in ballast.[3]
The next month, on 11 September, Pincher, Patriot, Paz and Jahde shared in the capture of vessels referred to in the prize-money announcement as Young Pincher, Young Paz, and Young Patriot.[4]
Jahde was converted into a water vessel, perhaps in 1813 like Patriot. In December 1815 the Admiralty put three schuyts, Patriot, Ems, and Jahde up for sale at Chatham.[2] All sold in 1815.[1]
