HMS Eclipse was a French Navy Vésuve-class[1] brick-canonnier or chaloupe-canonnière,[2] (gunbrig) launched at Saint-Malo in 1793 as Volage.
[2] Between 12 February 1794 and 11 June she was still under Corouge's command and escorting convoys between Saint-Malo and Brest.
She was variously stationed at Saint-Malo Roads, Aber Wrac'h, the Chausey islands, and the Bay of Cancale.
Corouge's successor, at least until 23 December 1794, was enseigne de vaisseau Le Gonidec.
[2] 22 March 1795 and 3 May, Volage, under the command of now lieutenant de vaisseau Le Gonidec, cruised the bay of Saint-Brieuc before returning to Saint-Malo.
Venteux also had the captain (lieutenant de vaisseau François-Gilles Montfort), her four remaining officers, and eight seamen wounded.
