In 1783 the Admiraal Tjerk Hiddes de Vries sailed to the Mediterranean Sea under Captain Van der Beets. When she returned in the Dutch Republic she was laid up in ordinary until 1795.[2]
In 1795, the ship was commissioned in the Batavian Navy.
On 11 October 1797 the Admiraal Tjerk Hiddes de Vries took part in the Battle of Camperdown under Captain J.B. Zeegers. The ship was captured by the British.[3]
The ship was renamed HMS Admiral DeVries, and in 1799 she served as a transport ship. In that year she sailed to the West Indies. She sprang a leak off San Domingo and was determined to be unfit for sea. She served as a prison hulk in Port Royal until she was sold in 1806.[4][5]
