Royal Danish Navy
Built originally for the Royal Danish Navy as Friderichssteen in 1800 by F. C. H. Hohlenberg of Copenhagen, she served in the Danish West Indies from 1802 until 1804. She was taken as a prize by the Royal Navy at the 1807 Battle of Copenhagen and re-commissioned as HMS Fredericksteen.

Friderichssteen carried an armament of 20x36 pound carronades on the gundeck.

Royal Navy
After Copenhagen, Fredericksteen was repaired and recommissioned at Chatham, England, where her main gundeck armament was changed to 26x12 pound cannons. She served in the Mediterranean between 1810 and 1812 and was finally broken up in 1813.
