She was later renamed Marat and then Formidable, with the changing fortunes of the French Revolution. She took part in the Action of 6 November 1793, managing to rake HMS Alexander. Fighting under captain Linois on 23 June 1795 at the Battle of Groix, she was captured by HMS Barfleur near the French port of Lorient. She was taken into service in the Royal Navy, but because the Navy already had a Formidable, she was renamed Belleisle, apparently in the mistaken belief that she had been captured off Belle Ile, rather than the Ile de Groix.
