HMS Foudroyant

HMS Foudroyant

Two Royal Navy ships have been named HMS "Foudroyant", the name derived from the French, meaning "Thunderbolt". A third was planned but later renamed:

*HMS|Foudroyant|1758|6 was an 80-gun third rate, captured from the French in 1758 and broken up in 1787.
*HMS|Foudroyant|1798|6 was an 80-gun second rate ship of the line, launched in 1798. She was used as a guardship from 1820, and a training ship from 1862. She was sold in 1892 and used as a school ship until being wrecked in 1897.
*HMS "Foudroyant" was to have been a battleship. She was renamed HMS|Neptune|1909|6 shortly before her launch in 1909.
