She carried twenty-eight 18-pounder and twelve 8-pounder guns.〔Roche (2005), p. 24.〕 The British captured her in 1801, only to have the French recapture her in 1810. They abandoned her at sea as she had been demasted and badly damaged, with the result that the British recaptured her the next day. She was broken up in 1816.
