Service history edit

In 1791, Fidèle took part in Girardin's Expedition to Martinique, under Captain François Étienne de Rosily-Mesros. In November, she served as a troopship and in Brest harbour. Fidèle took part in the Croisière du Grand Hiver and in the Battle of Groix, under Lieutenant Bernard.

In 1802, Fidèle was condemned, and used as a hulk and barracks in Brest until 1816. The vessel was then scrapped.
