HMS Sabine
Two ships of the Royal Navy have been called HMS Sabine after the ancient Italian tribe:
- HMS Sabine was the French 16-gun Sylphe-class brig Requin that HMS Volage captured on 28 July 1808 in the Mediterranean; she was sold in 1818.
- HMS Sabine was an iron screw gunboat launched as HMS Sabrina in 1876. Renamed HMS Sabine in 1916 when converted to a diving tender, the ship was renamed again, to HMS Vivid, in 1920 before being sold in 1922.
