Career
Built between 1843 and 1845, Clorinde was launched as a traditional frigate, bearing between 40 and 46 guns. In 1856, she was transformed in Cherbourg with the addition of a 804-shp steam engine and a retractable propeller, to be launched as a steam frigate on 23 May 1857. In 1868, she was sent to Cadiz to watch over French interests in the turmoil of the Glorious Revolution.[1]
Decommissioned in 1875, she was reactivated in 1886 and appointed to the Terre-Neuve division. The next year, she cruised off Island with Châteaurenault.[1]
Very much outdated, Clorinde was struck from the Navy lists in 1888, hulked, and used as barracks in Lorient until 1911.[1]
