Hautpoult was a {{Sclass-|Téméraire|ship of the line|4}} 74-gun French Navy ship of the line. French serviceOn 16 February 1809 Captain Amand Leduc, Chevalier of the Légion d'honneur, commanded Hautpoult on her maiden voyage, a mission to Martinique with reinforcements and supplies, as flagship of a squadron of three 74-gun ships. (The others vessels were {{Ship|French ship|Courageux|1806|2}} and {{Ship|French ship|Polonais|1808|2}}), and two frigates, under the overall command of Commodore Amable Troude.) Learning of the capture of Martinique, Troude's squadron turned back but were pursued by the British. Hautpoult was captured by her now-British sister ship, {{HMS|Pompée|1793|6}}, on 17 April 1809, after a chase over three nights and two days by Pompée, {{HMS|Recruit|1806|2}}, and {{HMS|Neptune|1797|2}}. Recruit hung on the tail of the French squadron and managed to cripple Hautpoult{{'}}s mizzen mast, so Pompée could bring her to action and capture her after exchanging fire for 75 minutes. Between 80 and 90 men from Hautpoult were killed or wounded, including several officers. British serviceTaken as a prize, she was renamed Abercrombie, and was briefly given to the commander of Recruit, Charles Napier, who was made post captain for his part in the action, as acting captain. Captain Sir William Fahie of Pompée, who had fallen ill after capturing her, then replaced Napier. Abercrombie also participated in the capture of Guadeloupe in January and February 1810.{{refn|A first-class share of the prize money for Guadaloupe was worth £113 3s 1¼d; a sixth-class share, that of an ordinary seaman, was worth £1 9s 1¼d.[3]|group=Note}} In 1847 the Admiralty awarded the Naval General Service Medal with clasp "Guadaloupe" to all surviving participants of the campaign.
