French ship Pluton (1804)
- French ship Pluton (1804)
"Pluton" was a 74-gun French ship of the line built at Toulon which took part in the Battle of Trafalgar under Captain Julien Cosmao.
Two days later, on 23 October 1805 she was the flag-ship of the counter-attack from Cádiz, together with "Indomptable", "Neptune", "Rayo", and "San Francisco de Asis", to recapture some of the British prizes. They managed to re-take "Santa Anna" and "Algésiras".
To prevent their recapture, the British scuttled "Intrépide", and "Neptuno". "Rayo" and "San Francisco de Asis" were wrecked on their journey back.
She was captured by Spain in Cadiz in 1808 and commissioned in the Spanish Navy as "Pluton". She was later renamed "Montañes", and was eventually broken up in 1816.
