He left the academy in 1811, and served as a midshipman on board the Caledonia, Warspite, Tigris, Express, and Belette . Cheape saw action in the Atlantic, during the Napoleonic Wars as part of the French blockade at Basque Roads; the War of 1812, mostly intercepting American merchant vessels; and in the Algerian conflict led by Sidney Smith. He was made Lieutenant in 1816 and commander 1827.
