Capture of HMS Swiftsure by Indivisible and Dix-Août, 26 September 1805

On 10 February 1801 Dix-août captured the 16-gun cutter Шаблон:HMS, which she scuttled. On 27 March 1801, as Dix-août sailed with the fleet of Toulon, she collided with Formidable and had to return to harbour.

On 26 September 1805 Indivisible and Dix-Août succeeded in shooting away SwiftsureШаблон:'s yards and masts, crippling her and so capturing her.[1] Swiftsure had two men killed, two men mortally wounded, and another six wounded; the French lost 33 killed and wounded.[1] See main article Action of 24 June 1801.

On 4 February 1803, her name was changed to Brave.
