Ordered as Magnanime, she was renamed to Quatorze Juillet on 7 May 1798, and eventually to Vétéran on 6 December 1802. On 13 December 1805, captained by Jérôme Bonaparte, she departed Brest as a unit of Willaumez division, in the context of the Atlantic campaign of 1806. The division was scattered by a hurricane and Vétéran found herself isolated. She cruised off Quebec, destroying merchantmen and skirmishing with Royal Navy forces. She eventually returned to France and escaped the British blockade by fleeing into Concarneau, thanks to the experience of a sailor who had been a fisherman in the region. Vétéran found herself trapped, however, and could not exit the harbour for years. At some point before 1812, she made it to Lorient.

Vétéran found herself trapped, however, and could not exit the harbour for years. At some point before 1812, she made it to Lorient. In 1812, she took part in Allemand's escape from Lorient, sailing from Lorient to Brest under captain Jurien de Lagravière. She was eventually decommissioned in 1833, and broken up in 1842.
