Age-of-sail sloops rarely hunted in wolfpacks

Did age-of-sail sloops ever use wolfpack-style tactics?

Not as a standard doctrine; they usually worked alone or with frigates, though small groups could cooperate against targets below ship-of-the-line strength.

Age-of-sail sloops usually operated alone or alongside frigates. Small warships could cooperate when they encountered a target they thought they could tackle, but this was not described as normal wolfpack practice. A ship of the line remained an especially dangerous opponent. Even a third-rate's broadside could overwhelm a frigate, so bringing several smaller ships together did not make that fight advisable.
