During the French Revolution, a French ship in the possession of the British navy (Nymphe) caught up with another French ship (Cleopatre) which was then boarded and captured after a brief engagement between the two crews. The Nymphe's captain (Pellew) was accorded a knighthood for the battle, and the Cleopatre was renamed the Oiseau. (Harry Parker, "Naval Prints, 96a).
