The Ariane was a 40-gun frigate of the French Navy, lead ship of her class.

Career

Ariane was commissioned on 9 January 1812 under Captain Jean-Baptiste-Henri Féretier, as part of a two-frigate squadron tasked with commerce raiding in the Atlantic, that also comprised Andromaque and the brig Mameluck.

Returning to Lorient, the squadron met the 74-gun HMS Northumberland. In the ensuing Action of 22 may 1812, the two frigates ran aground trying to escape their much stronger opponent, and were set afire to prevent their capture.^[1]
