In 8.31 the ministry approved a proposal from Toulon to razee two 3rd class frigates (Circé and Cybèle) to open-battery corvettes . Plans by Barrallier were approved in 10.31 , and conversion of a third ship (Aréthuse) at Brest on the same plans was approved in 3.32 . The captain of Circé noted ca. 1840 that the high speed of the ship would do an enemy much harm , but he did not recommend additional conversions because of difficulty accomodating the crew .
