Career
In January 1783, Nymphe was in the Caribbean, with Concorde. On 7, they captured the corvette HMS Raven. On 17 February of the same year, Nymphe was with the 32-gun Amphitrite when she captured the 44-gun HMS Argo.
On 20 January 1785, Nymphe arrived at Brest, ferrying Lafayette.
In July 1792, she was under Coëtnempren de Kerdournan. Along with Dromadaire and Curieux, she sailed to Cayenne to ferry troops, as well as the new governor, Frédéric Joseph Guillot. She then returned to Lorient and was put in the ordinary.
In July 1793, Nymphe was brought into active again under Lieutenant Pitot to fight the Chouan royalist insurgency.
Fate
On 30 December 1793, Nymphe was wrecked while battling Chouan coastal artillery near Noirmoutier.
