She was paid off and sold in 1763. * was an 18-gun sloop, formerly the French armed merchant vessel ''Comte de Maurepas'', which the British captured in 1778. They purchased her, armed her with eighteen 6-pounder guns, and gave her the name ''Port Royal''; she was under the command of Commander Timothy Kelly when the Spanish captured her at Pensacola in 1781. * was the 14-gun French privateer ship-sloop ''Comte dEstaing'', which captured on 29 March 1782. She was commissioned under Lieutenant George Hart but paid off on 31 March 1783 and sold thereafter. * was a 10-gun schooner purchased in 1796. The French captured her on 30 March 1797 and renamed her ''Perle''. recaptured her on 18 October.〔Hepper (1994), p.83.〕 The Royal Navy renamed her HMS ''Recovery''.
