Constructed in Guarnizo (Cantabria) shipyards in 1765, the San Juan Nepomuceno fulfilled different roles until 1803 when it was under the command of Cosme Damián Churruca. Two years later, taking part in the Battle of Trafalgar, Churruca was severely wounded while surrounded by up to six English ships. After the death of Churruca and his second commander, the commanding officer ordered surrender. Captured by the Royal Navy, the San Juan Nepomuceno was towed to Gibraltar.
