[4] On 18 January Thames, under the command of Captain William Lukin, captured Aurore.

[a] In early May Charwell was in the Hamoaze completely rigged and fitted for sea, but was short a crew.

[7] On 13 September 1803 Cerberus served as flagship to Admiral Sir James Saumarez.

Saumarez commanded a small squadron comprising the sloops of war Charwell and Kite, the schooner Eling, the cutter Carteret, and the bomb vessels Sulphur and Terror.

Charwell then sailed with the convoy to the River Plate where the British planned to attack Montevideo.

[1] On 15 July 1808 Nereide, Otter, and Charwell shared in the capture of the French brig Lucie, and her cargo of slaves.

Hyène was on her way from Bordeaux to Iles de France with a cargo of wine and naval stores when Charwell captured her.

[11] Admiral Bertie, commander of the Cape of Good Hope Station, described Hyène as "a very fine vessel of 230 tons, pierced for 18 Guns and masted as a man of war".
