  • Re-commissioned in Rochefort in April 1793 under Captain Chevillard, Gracieuse took part in the War in the Vendée, capturing the British privateer Ellis on 22 July 1795. In September 1795 Gracieuse was renamed Unité. In April 1796, she was again renamed, this time to Variante. She then undertook a crossing from Port Louis to Rochefort under commander Durand. On 13 April 1796 Indefatigable, under the command of Captain Sir Edward Pellew was in pursuit of a French frigate. Pellew signaled to his squadron mate HMS Révolutionnaire to sail to cut the frigate off from the shore. Revolutionnaire then captured Unite after having fired two broadsides into her. Unite had nine men killed and 11 wounded; Revolutionnaire had no casualties. The Royal Navy took the frigate into service as HMS Unite.
