Alliance sailed to Brest in 1779 with Lafayette aboard, joined John Paul Jones squadron, fought near the Serapis and Bon Homme Richard engagement, captured Betsy and Union, cruised to Texel and Croix, returned to Boston in 1780, and in 1781-82 captured two brigs Atalanta and Trepassy with heavy losses, ending its war service en route to Havana.
