Started for the Navy of the Batavian Republic as De Ruyter and renamed Koninklijke Hollander at the foundation of the Kingdom of Holland in 1806, the ship was incorporated in the French Navy as Royal Hollandais when the First French Empire annexed the country. In 1811, that name was shortened to Hollandais. On 10 July, she was appointed to Missiessy's Escaults squadron.[1]
She was returned to the Dutch Navy in 1814 and was decommissioned in 1819.[1]
