Warren was assigned the duty of protecting American commerce in Cuban waters against the possible incursions of French warships or privateers during the "Quasi War" with France
Warren set sail for Havana, Cuba, 31 December 1799
The passage proved uneventful until the 17 January, when six men came to Master Commandant Newman's cabin door at half-past six in the evening, swearing that "they would not do Duty and . . .
would go aboard the first British Man-of-War they could see." As a reward for their behavior, the six were promptly clapped in irons, to stand trial later.
Warren reach Havana 29 January she took up her duties in the Caribbean which proved to uneventful and routine, consisting of patrol duty, escorting merchanmen and providing assistance to other ships as needed.
Warren operated locally between Havana and the pan of Matanza until mid-June and anchored in Havana harbor on the 15th of that month
Sometime in June the ships crew began to experience symptoms of Yellow Fever
Warren's remaining service in the Caribbean was plagued by the Fever until almost to a man they all suffered the dread disease with many dieing including
Master Commandant Newman and his son who was serving as a midshipman aboard Warren
Lt. Joseph Strout then took command and, soon thereafter, took the ship northward, bound for the United States apparently arriving at Boston in the autumn of 1800.
