In 1811, Nymphe was assigned to a frigate division under Joseph-François Raoul, along with Méduse, tasked to support Java. On 2 September, the frigates arrived at Surabaya, tailed by the 32-gun frigate HMS Bucephalus. On the 4th, another British ship, HMS Barracouta, joined the chase, but lost contact on the 8th. On the 12th, Méduse and Nymphe chased the Bucephalus, which escaped and broke contact the next day. The squadron was back in Brest on 22 December 1811. She then served in the Atlantic. Between 1814 and 1824, she was decommissioned in Penfeld, only undertaking a refit in 1822.
