Late in 1792, when the British began re-arming in anticipation of another war with France, "Latona" underwent a refit and was recommissioned for the Channel Fleet. On 18 November 1793, she spotted, chased and engaged a squadron of six ships-of-the-line and some smaller vessels. She was unable to detain the enemy ships for long and they escaped before the rest of the British fleet could catch up. Still with Howe's fleet in May 1794, "Latona" and her compatriots were waiting for a large grain convoy bound for France from the United States. The British eventually found what they were looking for off Ushant on 28 May, and began a running battle which ended three days later on the Glorious First of June. "Latona" escaped serious damage despite being actively involved in the battle, coming to the assistance of the ship-of-the-line and firing on two French 74s before towing her to safety.
