Lead

...taking soldiers to the Hanover Expedition in 1805.: the "to" implies a place/destination, which "Hannover Expedition" isn't.
When the wars ended...: suggest rewording due to potential confusion between War of 1812 and Napoleonic Wars.

Design

Regulus was a 44-gun, 18-pounder Roebuck-class ship.: Because you mention 1769 in the next sentence I wonder for a bit of additional context you should say something like ...Roebuck-class ship that was completed in 1785.
From 1751 to 1776 only two ships of this type...: should that be From 1769 to...? This is referring to the design of 1769 isn't it?

Construction

Inconsistency between text and infobox regarding the number of guns on the upper deck in 1793.

English Channel

Jamaica Station

The vessels captured were a ship, brig, and armed schooner.: it seems odd that a ship was captured...anyhoo, shouldn't be "a brig, and an armed schooner"?
