During this phase, it was decided to scrap the damaged 90-gun ''Voyager'', and convert the 3 remaining 4-gun sloops for commercial use. At this point, the two remaining 24-gun 6th rates, ''XNS Atlas'' and ''XNS Aries'' were drydocked for conversion into 30-gun 6th rates of the [[Atlas class]] in accordance to new building protocol that required upgrading any design from previous years.
