Jersey was built during a time of peace in Britain. Length: 44 m; 1,068 bm tons; Crew: 400; Armament: 24x24 pdr, 26x9 pdr, 10x6 pdr; built in 1736. Her first battle was in AdmiralEdward Vernon's defeated attack on the Spanish port of Cartagena, Colombia, around the beginning of the War of Jenkins' Ear in October 1739. Jersey next saw action in the Seven Years' War. Jersey also took part in the Battle of Lagos under Admiral Edward Boscawen on 18–19 August 1759.
American Revolutionary War
In March 1771, the ageing Jersey was hulked and converted to a hospital ship in Wallabout Bay, New York, which would later become the Brooklyn Navy Yard. When the American Revolution began, the British used her as a prison ship for captured Continental Army soldiers, making her infamous due to the harsh conditions in which the prisoners were kept. Thousands of men were crammed below decks where there was no natural light or fresh air and few provisions for the sick and hungry. James Forten was one of those imprisoned aboard her during this period. Political tensions only made the prisoners' days worse, with brutal mistreatment by the British guards becoming fairly common. As many as eight corpses a day were buried from the Jersey alone before the British surrendered at Yorktown on 19 October 1781. When the British evacuated New York at the end of 1783, Jersey was abandoned and burnt in the harbour, having had approximatively 8,000 prisoners on board.
She was built at Aberdeen, being launched in 1976 by HRH Princess Anne and subsequently commissioned into the Navy later that year. She was the first ship of the class to be commissioned; six more would follow her.
As part of the Fishery Protection Squadron, along with her sister-ships, Jersey patrolled the waters around the UK (sometimes also Gibraltar) providing protection for Britain's fishing grounds, as well as providing oil and gas platform protection.
In 1993 she became involved in the Cherbourg incident, when Jersey captured the French trawler La Calypso in the Channel Islands waters on 2 April 1993.
Decommissioning
She was decommissioned and subsequently sold to Bangladesh in 1994, entering its navy as the training shipBNS Shaheed Ruhul Amin, being accompanied by all but one of its sister-ships. All of the Island class were decommissioned by January 2004, being replaced by the much more modern River-class patrol vessels.
Jersey (/ˈdʒɜːrzi/, French:[ʒɛʁzɛ]; Jèrriais: Jèrri [ʒɛri]), officially the Bailiwick of Jersey (French:Bailliage de Jersey; Jèrriais: Bailliage dé Jèrri), is a Crown dependency of the United Kingdom, a possession of the Crown in right of Jersey, off the coast of Normandy, France. The bailiwick consists of the island of Jersey, along with surrounding uninhabited islands and rocks collectively named Les Dirouilles, Les Écréhous, Les Minquiers, Les Pierres de Lecq, and other reefs.
Jersey was part of the Duchy of Normandy, whose dukes went on to become kings of England from 1066. After Normandy was lost by the kings of England in the thirteenth century, and the ducal title surrendered to France, Jersey and the other Channel Islands remained attached to the English crown.
The island of Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands. Although the Bailiwicks of Jersey and Guernsey are often referred to collectively as the Channel Islands, the "Channel Islands" are not a constitutional or political unit. Jersey has a separate relationship to its Crown from the other Crown dependencies of Guernsey and the Isle of Man, although all three Crowns are held by the monarch of the United Kingdom. It is not part of the United Kingdom, and has an international identity separate from that of the UK, but the United Kingdom is constitutionally responsible for the defence of Jersey. The Commission have confirmed in a written reply to the European Parliament in 2003 that Jersey is within the Union as a European Territory for whose external relationships the United Kingdom is responsible. Jersey is not fully part of the European Union but has a special relationship with it, notably being treated as within the European Community for the purposes of free trade in goods.
Jersey is the debut solo extended play (EP) by American singer and actress Bella Thorne, released on November 17, 2014 by Hollywood Records. Thorne promoted the EP for a one time, in the event Shall We Dance on Ice, in Bloomington, Illinois, on December 16, 2014, when she performed "Jersey".
Background
“Everything is very different so it is hard to say I have some Coachella music, I have some R&B, some more Ke$ha talk-y music, I wanted there to be a song for everyone I don’t want it to just be you hear a song on the radio and say, ‘Oh that kinda sounds like Bella Thorne,’ like she would sing a song like that. I want it to be so versatile and different.”
In March 2013, Thorne announced she'd been signed to Hollywood Records, and began working on her debut album. On 23 April 2013, she discussed details about her upcoming album, telling MTV: “What fans can expect is [for it] just to be very different from anyone, because I don’t like to be one of those artists where you can be like: ‘Oh yeah, I know them from that song.’ All my songs are very different from each other. So I don’t want to be known as only one genre.” On 28 March 2014, Thorne announced her debut album would be named as the single, and confirmed it will consist of eleven songs.
The mixtape debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200. The artwork is a stock image that was purchased from Shutterstock.
Release and promotion
The mixtape was first teased by a range of sources including DJ SKEE, Angela Yee and Ernest Baker, and was officially announced on Drake's Instagram on September 19, 2015, when he revealed the mixtape's release date and cover art. Drake and Future premiered the album on Beats 1 on OVO Sound's "OVO Sound Radio" show on September 20, 2015, after which it was released on the iTunes Store and Apple Music.
Critical reception
What a Time to Be Alive received generally positive reviews from critics, receiving a normalized metascore of 70 out of 100 on the review aggregate website Metacritic based on 24 critics.Billboard described Drake and Future's chemistry as expected and said "Future deals with personal demons that he tries, and fails, to drown in drugs; Drake is mostly about insecurities and lesser gravity".Rolling Stone gave the album 3.5 out of 5 stars, attributing the "fresh and spontaneous" feel to the quick production of the album, where "both artists [are] playing off their louder-than-life personalities without overthinking the details." However, Sheldon Pearce in a Pitchfork Media review suggests that this limited time-frame for making the album is the sonic downfall of the mixtape arguing that the album "wasn't created with the care or the dutiful curation we've come to expect from both artists when solo."
HMS Jersey was a 60-gun fourth rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built to the 1733 proposals of the 1719 Establishment of dimensions at Plymouth Dockyard, and launched on 14 June 1736. She is most noted for her service as a prison ship during the American Revolutionary War.

HIH Ep. 11 | The HMS Jersey | American rebels starved to death aboard a notorious prison ship
HISTORY DOCUMENTARY
The American Revolutionary War was a bloody, contemptuous conflict born out of oppression suffered by the American colonies at the hands of Great Britain.
The many battles that took place between American militia forces and the British army resulted in devastating casualties and loss of life on both sides. But despite the tragic loss of lives wrought by the bloodshed, the real killer of the American Revolution was actually not the fighting itself - on the contrary, the deadliest place to be in the American colonies during the war was not on the landlocked battlefields, nor those at sea.

All Aboard The Hms Jersey, The Hellish Floating Revolutionary War Prison 👑
Everybody knows that battling is hell. However, just like Dante's hell, there are many different circles, and some are worse than others. DuringtheAmerican Revolution, for instance, one could fight a few lackluster campaigns and then retire from the conflict long before any real fighting begins, or one could become trapped in the starving winter of Valley Forge. Or, even worse, one could find oneself on the HMS Jersey.
The Jersey was a British prison ship, and during the Revolution, it held thousands of prisoners. This by itself is unremarkable, but the Jersey often held thousands of prisoners at one time, crammed in hellish conditions under the decks, like sardines in a tin. There was no light, barely any oxygen, no medical care, and little in the way of food and clean water.

There was no light, barely any oxygen, no medical care, and little in the way of food and clean water.
To put the depredations of the Jersey in perspective, it is currently believed the Americans suffered around 4,500 field casualties. Compare this to the 11,000 believed to have perished aboard the Jersey and other prison ships. These places were totally unconcerned with keeping their prisoners alive, and the Jersey was the worst of them all.

Jersey was built during a time of peace in Britain. Length: 44 m; 1,068 bm tons; Crew: 400; Armament: 24x24 pdr, 26x9 pdr, 10x6 pdr; built in 1736. Her first battle was in AdmiralEdward Vernon's defeated attack on the Spanish port of Cartagena, Colombia, around the beginning of the War of Jenkins' Ear in October 1739. Jersey next saw action in the Seven Years' War. Jersey also took part in the Battle of Lagos under Admiral Edward Boscawen on 18–19 August 1759.
American Revolutionary War
In March 1771, the ageing Jersey was hulked and converted to a hospital ship in Wallabout Bay, New York, which would later become the Brooklyn Navy Yard. When the American Revolution began, the British used her as a prison ship for captured Continental Army soldiers, making her infamous due to the harsh conditions in which the prisoners were kept. Thousands of men were crammed below decks where there was no natural light or fresh air and few provisions for the sick and hungry. James Forten was one of those imprisoned aboard her during this period. Political tensions only made the prisoners' days worse, with brutal mistreatment by the British guards becoming fairly common. As many as eight corpses a day were buried from the Jersey alone before the British surrendered at Yorktown on 19 October 1781. When the British evacuated New York at the end of 1783, Jersey was abandoned and burnt in the harbour, having had approximatively 8,000 prisoners on board.
