Built at Dover, Speedy spent most of the interwar years serving off the British coast. Transferring to the Mediterranean after the outbreak of the French Revolutionary Wars, she spent the rest of her career there under a number of notable commanders, winning fame for herself in various engagements and often against heavy odds. Her first commander in the Mediterranean, Charles Cunningham, served with distinction with several squadrons, assisting in the capture of several prizes, such as the French frigates Modeste and Impérieuse.
