She served during the Napoleonic War. The Volage was built by Richard Chapman, of Bideford and was launched on 23 March 1807. She was sent to the Mediterranean in October 1807, soon after commissioning in May 1807 under Captain Philip Rosenhagen. In 1810 she was taken over by Captain Phipps Hornby and served in the Adriatic, fighting at the Battle of Lissa and driving off a much larger French ship during the action.
