HMS ''Dangereuse'' was a tartane named ''Duguay-Trouin'' that the French Navy requisioned in May 1794 to serve as an aviso. The Navy renamed her ''Dangereuse'' either in May 1795 or 2 March 1796. She was one of a flotilla of seven gun-vessels that Commodore Sir Sidney Smith in HMS ''Tigre'' took at Acre on 18 March 1799, all of which the British took into service. At capture ''Dangereuse'' carried six guns and had a crew of 23 men. The British put her under the command of Lieutenant R. Tyte.
