What did Denis Decrès do at the Battle of the Nile?

Did Denis Decrès do anything significant at the battle before later attaining high office?

He was aboard Diane and escaped to Malta with the surviving French ships; he did not play a decisive part in the battle itself.

Denis Decrès later held high office, but his contribution at the Nile was limited. Diane remained toward the rear and escaped with Guillaume Tell. His later command of Guillaume Tell ended in capture during an attempt to break the blockade of Malta in 1800. Earlier experience at the Battle of the Saintes and later high office do not make his role at the Nile more decisive.
