Career

Ordered on 14 February 1803 as Sultane, the ship was started in March of the same year.Шаблон:Sfnp In May, she was put on keel and renamed Italienne; the name had originally been intended for Шаблон:Ship, by order of 10 May 1805, but Topaze had departed Nantes under Captain François-André Baudin before it could be carried out.Шаблон:Sfnp

Italienne was commissioned in Saint-Servan on 11 September 1806.Шаблон:Sfnp

In early 1808 Italienne and Шаблон:Ship were returning to France from Martinique when they encountered, captured, and destroyed three British merchantmen, Шаблон:Ship, Sarah King, and Windham. The French put the crews on Sofia, Delaney, master, of and for New York, which brought them into Plymouth on 26 March. Sofia had been coming from Belfast.[1]Шаблон:Efn

In 1809, under Commodore Jurien de La Gravière, she was the flagship of a three-frigate squadron, along with Calypso and Cybèle. Trying to make junction with Willaumez' fleet in Brest, the squadron was intercepted by a British blockade squadron under Rear-Admiral Robert Stopford, comprising the ships of the line Шаблон:HMS, Шаблон:HMS, and Шаблон:HMS, the frigate Шаблон:HMS, and the brig-sloop Шаблон:HMS. In the ensuing Battle of Les Sables-d'Olonne, Italienne sustained extensive damage and was beached,[2] but managed to take shelter in Les Sables-d'Olonne harbour.Шаблон:Sfnp

Unable to effect heavy repairs, Italienne remained stranded in Les Sables-d'Olonne harbour in her battered state.Шаблон:Sfnp The Ministry intended to send her to Nantes for repairs, but this was never effected. Italienne was struck from the Navy lists in November 1813. In 1816, she was sold as a merchantman.Шаблон:Sfnp
