Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei whitianga - I oti te "Nymphe" i te wa e kite ana i te mahi i te Pakanga Tuarua o Schleswig me Denmark i te tau 1864, i te Pakanga o Jasmund
, i hea ia i kaha whakauruhia e te Danish parirau frigate, i patua maha nga wa. I uru a "Medusa" ki te mahi i te tau 1867 ka haere ki te Moana Mediterranean i te tau 1867-1868 me tetahi atu haerenga ki Ahia ki te Rawhiti i te tau 1868-1871. I te Pakanga Franco-Prussian i te 1870-1871, i aukatihia a "Medusa" i Yokohama, Japan, a kaore i kite i tetahi mahi. I whakaekehia ano hoki a "Nymphe" i Danzig, Prussia, a ka whakaekea e ia te whaainga o te po ki te roopu French, kaore i pakaru, engari i whakaponohia te rangatira o French kaore i pai ana kaipuke whawhai rino mo te aukati tata o nga tauranga Prussian.
