[1] On 5 August 1781, Batavier took part in the Battle of Dogger Bank under Captain Wolter Jan Gerrit Bentinck.

Batavier sailed in the middle of the Dutch line, between the ships Admiraal de Ruyter and Argo.

The battle, while indecisive tactically, resulted in a strategic British victory and afterwards Batavier was towed to Texel.

Early in the battle, the ship was under heavy fire, but soon she drifted off, and she eventually left the scene and fled to Texel.

She was moved to Woolwich Dockyard in April 1809, where she functioned as a hospital ship under the command of Lieutenant Thomas Dorsett Birchall.
