Pomone subsequently had a relatively brief but active career in the British Navy off the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts of France before suffering sufficient damage from hitting a rock.

Between 17 February and 28 August 1793, Pomone was stationed at Rochefort under the command of captain de vaisseau Dumoutier.

[6] She was recommissioned in the Royal Navy as HMS Pomone and the Endymion-class frigates were built to her lines, but with the more robust British practice of framing and fastening.

On 6 and 17 January 1795, Pomone, under Captain Sir John Borlase Warren, with Arethusa, Concorde, Galatea and Diamond, captured the French vessels David and Ormontaise, and recaptured the Phoenix.

[8] On 12 February, Pomone put to sea with a squadron comprising the frigates Anson, Artois and Galatea, and the hired lugger Duke of York.

[9] Warren pursued the convoy from the lighthouse on Île d'Oléron halfway up the Pertuis d'Antioche, capturing or destroying several of the vessels, before he had to break off the chase.

[9] On 15 April, Warren and his squadron chased the French privateer Jean Bart, of 26 guns and 187 men, off the Île de Ré.

[7] In June, Pomone participated at the landing of the ill-conceived and ill-fated Royalist expedition to Quiberon Bay.

[12] Pomone shared in the prize money for the capture, on 23 June, of the French men of war, Alexander, Formidable and Tigre.

French records show that the crew of Rude, of three guns (not 12), and under the command of enseigne de vaisseau non-entretenu Cheneau, ran her aground on Noirmoutier on 25 September to block the British from capturing her.

Some two weeks later, on 20 March, Pomone, Artois, Anson, and Galatea engaged a French squadron escorting a convoy near the Bec du Raz.

[24] The British captured four brigs from the convoy and Warren instructed the lugger Valiant to take them to the nearest port.

[22]) The British squadron then engaged the French warships escorting the convoy but were not able to bring them to a full battle before having to give up the chase due to the onset of dark and the dangerous location.

[26] Commodore Warren's squadron, including Pomone, ran the 44-gun French frigate Andromaque ashore on 23 August near the river Gironde.

Between 9 August and 10 September Warren's squadron captured or destroyed a number of small merchant vessels as well as Andromache.

[28] In July, Pomone and Warren's squadron intercepted a convoy in Hodierne Bay consisting of 14 cargo vessels with a frigate, a ship, a corvette, and a brig as escorts.

[29] The British drove the French 36-gun frigate Calliope onshore and holed her hull with gunfire, Sylph being particularly aggressive.

They burnt Freedom, a large British-built ship armed en flute and laden with squared timber.

The British also captured eight vessels:[29] A few days later, boats from the squadron destroyed two French merchant ships, the brig Fidèle and the sloop Henri, also in Hodierne Bay.

On 27 August Pomone ashore near Arcachon the French naval cutter Petit Diable, where she was lost.

This manoeuvre, and the warlike appearance of the Indiamen, deterred the French admiral from attacking them; the whole fleet reached Lisbon in safety.

[33] On 3 April, Pomone had the good fortune to meet and capture Argus after a pursuit of 108 miles that hit 12 knots.

[34] Six days later Pomone recaptured an American schooner that had been sailing from Caracas to Corunna with a cargo of cocoa and indigo.

[33] Earlier, Pomone had captured two vessels off Cartagena, Spain, the French privateer Mucius Scaevola, of Genoa, and a Spanish coaster.

[36] On 3 August, while cruising off the west side of Elba during the Siege of Porto Ferrajo, Pomone, Captain Edward Leveson-Gower[37] commanding, took another prize, the Carrere, of 44 guns and 356 men.

Pomone shared with Vincejo, Pigmy, and the privateer Furioso in the proceeds of the capture on 2 October of the Bella Aurora.

The court fined him all pay and allowances due to him for his services as pilot on Pomone and sentenced him to imprisonment in the Marshalsea for three months.
