Under the command of Hugh Pigot, "Latona" was at the Action of 10 February 1809, where she was involved in the capture of the French 40-gun frigate . On 7 February, "Junon" escaped from a British blockade of the Îles des Saintes. She was seen and chased by two small brigs, one of which soon fell behind but the other, of 14-guns, kept her in sight and was joined on the 9th by "Latona"; the crew of which had been alerted by the sound of gunfire. The next day, "Junon" was still some way ahead of her pursuers when two more British ships, the 38-gun and the 18-gun , appeared and caused her to alter her course. Seeing "Latona" steering to cut her off, "Junon" turned back towards "Horatio", passing her on the opposite tack and exchanging fire. A short engagement followed in which both frigates were greatly damaged but "Junon", less so in the sails and rigging, was able to leave "Horatio" behind. She was then attacked by "Superiere" until "Latona" caught up and opened fire. "Junon"s main and mizzen mast fell and she struck.
