- The Action of 22 February 1812 was a minor naval battle of the Adriatic campaign of the Napoleonic Wars fought between a British and a French ship of the line in the Adriatic Sea. The French Rivoli, named for Napoleon's victory 15 years earlier, had been recently completed at Venice. The French naval authorities intended her to bolster French forces in the Adriatic, following a succession of defeats in the preceding year. To prevent this ship challenging British dominance in the theatre, the Royal Navy ordered a ship of the line from the Mediterranean fleet to intercept and capture Rivoli on her maiden voyage. Captain John Talbot of HMS Victorious arrived off Venice in mid-February and blockaded the port. When Rivoli attempted to escape under cover of fog, Talbot chased her and forced her to surrender in a five hour battle, Rivoli losing over half her crew wounded or dead.
- La acción militar del 22 de febrero de 1812 fue una batalla naval menor durante la campaña del Adriático de las Guerras Napoleónicas, que enfrentó a navíos de la Marina Real Británica y la Marina Francesa en el mar Adriático. La construcción del barco francés Rivoli, bautizado en honor al triunfo logrado por Napoleón Bonaparte 15 años atrás, acababa de concluir en Venecia. Con esto, los altos mandos marítimos en Francia buscaban reforzar sus unidades en el Adriático tras una serie de derrotas durante el año anterior. Para evitar que dicho barco desafiara el dominio británico en el teatro de guerra, la Marina Real ordenó que un barco perteneciente a la flota del Mediterráneo interceptara y capturara al Rivoli en su viaje inaugural. El capitán John Talbot del HMS Victorious llegó a las proximidades de Venecia a mediados de febrero y bloqueó el puerto. Cuando el Rivoli intentó huir oculto en la niebla, Talbot lo persiguió y obligó a rendirse luego de una batalla de cinco horas en la que el barco francés perdió a más de la mitad de su tripulación entre muertos y heridos.
