Foudroyant and Pégase entering Portsmouth Harbour, 1782, painted by Dominic Serres. The Royal Navy ship of the line HMS Foudroyant is seen here leading the French ship of the line Pégase, which the former has captured during the Third Battle of Ushant, into Portsmouth Harbour.

During times of war, naval engagements were frequent. Many battles were fought and often resulted in the capture of the enemy's ships. The ships were often renamed and used in the service of the capturing country's navy. Merchant ships were also captured and taken into service by their captors.
