"Oriflamme" again encountered the British, this time when she was chased by the 50-gun , under Captain Edward Wheeler, off the Mediterranean coast of Morocco on 1 April 1761. The two engaged at 6pm, with Wheeler being killed early in the exchange of fire. Command then devolved to Lieutenant Cunningham, who on seeing that the French ship was trying to escape towards Spain, ran aboard her, and soon forced her to strike her colours. "Oriflamme", which had been armed "en flûte" and was carrying between 40 and 50 guns during the action, had 50 killed and wounded from her complement of around 370. "Isis" had four killed, including Wheeler, and nine wounded. The captured "Oriflamme" was brought into Gibraltar.
