Andromaque was a 40-gun Шаблон:Sclass of the French Navy.

Career

Ariane was commissioned on 1 August 1811 under Captain Nicolas Morice.

Between 21 February 1812 and 17 May, a three-vessel French squadron consisting of the frigates Шаблон:Ship and Andromaque, and the brig Шаблон:Ship engaged in commerce raiding in the Atlantic. They captured numerous British and American vessels and burnt them all, except for Шаблон:Ship, M'Master, master, and Woodrup, Sims, master. They made a cartel of Patent, putting their British prisoners aboard her; she arrived at Plymouth on 24 May. The American prisoners the French put on Woodrop, which they sent to America.[1]

Returning to Lorient, the squadron encountered the British 74-gun ship-of-the-line Шаблон:HMS, Captain Henry Hotham. In the ensuing Action of 22 May 1812, the two frigates ran aground trying to escape their much stronger opponent, and were set afire to prevent their capture.[2]
