| rdfs:comment | - The USS Enterprise vs Flambeau was a single ship action fought in October 1800 during the Quasi-War. During the action the USS Enterprise defeated the French privateer brig Flambeau off the leeward side of the island of Dominica in the Caribbean Sea. Although the Enterprise was outgunned by the Flambeau she was still able to take her as a prize after a short battle. The battle helped bring to fame the Enterprise's commanding officer, Lieutenant John Shaw, who added the capture of Flambeau to his already long list of French prizes.
