Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei waahanga - I mahi a Vaugiraud i runga i te "Couronne" i te Pakanga o Ushant i te 27 o Hurae 1778. I whakahau poto ia i te frigate "Fox" i mua i te whakawhiti ki "Bretagne" ki te mahi hei tuarua nui o te kapa Orvilliers. I muri i tana whakatairanga ki te Kapene i te 4 o Aperira 1780, i te 9 o Mei 1781, ka riro ia hei Major-general o te roopu De Grasse, i runga i te "Ville de Paris". I taua wa, i uru ia ki te Pakanga o Fort Royal
i te 30 o Paenga-whāwhā 1781 me te whakaekenga o Tobago i te 30 o Mei. I te 22 o Hōngongoi 1781, i te wa e whakatere ana te ope French i Cap-Haïtien, ka mura te ahi o "Intrépide", a ka taea e Vaugiraud te rere atu i te kaipuke, ka rere ka nekehia atu i mua i tana pakarutanga. I whai wāhi a Vaudugira ki te Pakanga o te Chesapeake i te 5 o Mahuru, te Siege o Yorktown, te Pakanga o Saint Kitts i te 25 o Hanuere 1782, a i whara ia i te Pakanga o Saintes i te 12 o Paenga-whāwhā 1782.
