When did Sinking of HMS Reindeer happen?

The sinking of HMS Reindeer did not happen in a single event. There were several instances where the ship was damaged and had to be repaired. Here are some key events:

* 1812: The HMS Reindeer was captured by the American privateer USS Rossie and was later recaptured by the British in 1813.

* 1814: The ship was destroyed in a fierce battle against the American privateer USS General Armstrong.

So, the "sinking" of the HMS Reindeer was a gradual process, starting with its capture and ultimately ending with its destruction in battle.
