In 1782 she was re-rigged as a brig at Brest.〔Demerliac (1996), p. 87, #577.〕 In 1792 she was under the command of Lieutenant Bertrand de Keranguen.〔Because of the chaos that followed the outbreak of the French Revolution, two years later he was captain of the 74-gun third rate ''Éole'' at the Glorious First of June, during which battle he was killed.〕 His successor in 1793 as commander was ''enseigne de veaisseau non-entretenu'' Hardouin, later ''lieutenant de vaisseaux''.

''Caroline'' was part of Admiral Lord Duncan's squadron in the North Sea and when two strange vessels were spotted, Duncan signaled to ''Caroline'' to pursue. After about four and half hours and some ''pro forma'' exchange of fire, ''Caroline'' captured ''Pandour'' of fourteen 6-pounder guns and 108 men. She was three days out of Dunkirk. The other French vessel escaped while ''Caroline'' was securing her prisoners. The second vessel was the ''Septnie'', of twelve 4-pounder guns.
