What destroyed the HMS Interceptor in a "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie?
Answer
Battle With Black Pearl
What destroyed the HMS Interceptor in a “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie? A battle with the Black Pearl destroyed it.
The HMS Interceptor is a fast fictional Royal Navy brig in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Jack Sparrow and Will Turner commandeer the ship while pursuing the Black Pearl and trying to rescue Elizabeth Swann.
The Black Pearl, commanded by the cursed Hector Barbossa and his undead crew, catches the Interceptor during a nighttime pursuit. The pirate ship attacks at close range, heavily damaging the Interceptor before the vessel is ultimately destroyed.
A common mix-up is the HMS Dauntless, another Royal Navy ship in the film. The Dauntless survives the chase, while the Interceptor is the ship lost in battle with the Black Pearl. The scene also establishes the Black Pearl as extraordinarily fast and dangerous, even against a celebrated naval vessel.
