Ordered as Lys under the absolute monarchy of Charles X, the ship, still under construction, was renamed Ulm on 9 August 1830, following the July Revolution. She was transformed into a sail and steam ship, receiving an Indret engine, and was eventually launched in 1854.[1]
She served in the Black Sea during the Crimean War and took part in the Battle of Kinburn.[1] From July 1857, she was part of the squadron of Toulon. She transferred to Brest in 1860 for engine trials, and to Cherbourg in June 1862.[2]
From September 1862,[2] she served in the French intervention in Mexico.[1] She returned to Brest on 3 January 1863.[2]
Struck in 1867, she was used as a coaling hulk in Brest before being eventually broken up in 1890.[1]
