Gomer was a paddle frigate of the French Navy, lead ship of her class.
She served in the Caribbean in 1843, and later served off France and England after being refitted as a royal yacht for Louis-Philippe.
In 1851, she took part in the Bombardment of Salé. During the Second French Empire, she took part in the Crimean War and in the French intervention in Mexico.
She was decommissioned in 1868 and broken up soon afterward.
