Newcastle proved a successful ship and operated in squadrons that chased the American frigates, but ultimately failed to catch them before the war ended.

She spent some time as the flagship on the North American Station before returning to Britain in 1822 and being laid up.

Built of softwood to get her into service as quickly as possible, Leander was launched on 10 November 1813, less than five months after laying down.

[1] On 23 May 1814 Newcastle ran down Diligence, Grant, master, which was sailing from Southampton to Guernsey with 40 passengers.

[5] Newcastle, Leander, and Acasta shared the proceeds of the capture on 28 December 1814 of the notorious American privateer Prince de Neufchatel.

[7] At the time of her capture, Prince de Neufchatel was armed with 18 guns and had a crew of 129 men.

When Collier had to interrupt his surveillance in order to take Leander to Halifax to resupply, he left Acasta and Newcastle off the port.

The British squadron eventually sighted Constitution in heavy weather off Porto Praya on 11 March 1815.
