 | | FOWEY mounted 24 nine-pounders, and since there are no line drawings or specific details as to her construction, we must assume she was similar to other sixth-rates built prior to the late 1750s. |
 | | In 1775, FOWEY sailed to North America, under the command of Capt. George Montague, and was stationed at Virginia. |
 | | In September 1779, FOWEY, under command of Capt. John Henry, was at Savannah along with ROSE (20), VIGILANT (20), KEPPEL (12), GERMAINE (12), and SAVANNAH (14), when the French Admiral dEstaing arrived with twenty ships of the line and several thousand troops to attack the city. |
