Notes:
Apr / May 1793 Sailed under the command of Captain Hon. Charles Carpenter, as a part of a squadron for the Mediterranean Fleet, then to be based off Toulon. However, in view of her apparent involvement in the next item William James suggests it is unlikely that she arrived on station until the end of August or later ? The proof of the pudding will probably be found in her logs at the National Archives :
