[1] Loss: On 23 October 1804 HMS Cruizer and her accompanying gun-brigs, including Conflict, were in action off Nieuport with two small praams and eighteen schuyts.

Her crew abandoned her at the approach of French vessels, but later returned together with men from Cruizer, the hired armed cutters Admiral Mitchell, and Griffin, and some of the other ships in the squadron to try to recapture or destroy her.

At high tide a cutting-out expedition went in only to discover that the French had taken her further onshore where several field guns could provide covering fire.

[6][7] The subsequent court martial of Ormsby and his crew acquitted them, though the pilot was found guilty of having quit his station.

He was mulcted of all pay due, forbidden ever to take charge of any naval vessels, and to serve six months in the Marshalsea Prison.

[4] On 23 September 1823 Lynx, of 10 guns (or 4), was part of the French fleet in front of Cadiz during the Hundred Thousand Sons of Saint Louis war with Spain.

When a bomb vessel bombarding the Spanish defences was struck by gunfire, Lynx, under the command of Lieutenant Bretteville, towed her to safety, assisted by a longboat from one of the ships of the line.

[8][9] Lynx (of 8 guns), was part of the French naval forces at the Invasion of Algiers in 1830,[4] under the command of Lieutenant Armand.

[10] In August she returned to Toulon carrying the body of one of the sons of the French commander, General the Count Bourmont.
