A French frigate captured her in a notable single-ship action in 1804 off the American coast and later burnt her.

Juno was greatly out-gunned and her crew outnumbered but Captain Lutwidge Affleck decided to resist.

[3][b] Juno was too damaged to sail back to France so Poursuivante attempted to bring her into Charleston, but the Americans refused her entry.

[3] Juno's underwriters in London presented Captain Affleck with a bowl inscribed with the major facts of the engagement.

The Liverpool Committee of Underwriters presented him with a bill of exchange drawn on London for £120 for the purchase of piece of plate.
