Are Hornblower's Hotspur and Bolitho's Hotspur the same ship?

Re: Hotspur
I don't think they are the same ship Hornblower had a ship sloop and Bolitho had a frigate.

Ok... I did a little research. Bolitho's Hotspur was a schooner and Hornblower's was a sloop.... never mind....

Re: Hotspur
Hotspur was the nickname for Sir Henry Percy (1364-1403). The RN has had several ships of that name. Interestingly, the first, during the Napoleonic era, was a 36 gun frigate. Thus far too late for Bolitho's schooner and too late and far too big for HH's sloop.
