Service
Halifax was commissioned under Commander John Nairne, for the Halifax Station.[1] In November 1806 Commander Lord James Townshend assumed command.[1] A deserter from HMS Halifax, Jenkin Ratford, was one of the men seized from USS Chesapeake in 1807 during the controversial Chesapeake-Leopard Affair. Ratford was hanged from the yardarm of Halifax on 31 August 1807.Шаблон:Sfnp
Halifax arrived in Plymouth on 16 January 1808 to make good defects.[1] Townshend was promoted to post-captain on 2 January 1809. On 2 March, Halifax, still under Townshend's command, captured a fast, new French schooner, Caroline,[2] which was subsequently commissioned as Шаблон:HMS.Шаблон:Sfnp Commander John Thompson replaced Townshend, and then in 1810 Commander Alexander Fraser replaced Thompson, still at Halifax.[1]

Halifax was laid up in ordinary at Portsmouth from 1812 to 1814. She was broken up in January 1814.
