The ''Artémise'' was a 32-gun ''Magicienne'' class frigate of the French Navy. She was under construction in Toulon when the British seized the city in August 1793. They evacuated the city in December 1793, leaving her behind. The French named her ''Aurore'' on 24 July 1794, but then renamed her ''Artémise'' when they launched her on 25 September. Her crew scuttled her on 2 August 1798 to prevent the British from capturing her at Aboukir Bay. At the Action of 24 June 1795, along with the 40-gun ''Minerve'', she took part in an action against HMS ''Dido'' and HMS ''Lowestoffe'', escaping while ''Minerve'' was captured. Her captain was relieved of his command for leaving ''Minerve''. In 1798, she took part in the Expedition of Egypt. In the Battle of the Nile in August 1798 HMS ''Orion'' and HMS ''Theseus'' engaged her; outgunned, her crew set fire to her to prevent the British from capturing her. ==Citations and references== ;Citations ;References * * *Winfield, Rif & Stephen S Roberts (2015) ''French Warships in the Age of Sail 1786 - 1861: Design Construction, Careers and Fates''.
