Arrogant class ship of the line

Arrogant class ship of the line

The "Arrogant"-class ships of the line were a class of twelve 74-gun third rate ships designed by Sir Thomas Slade for the Royal Navy.

Design

The "Arrogant" class ships were designed as a development of Slade's previous "Bellona" class, sharing the same basic dimensions. During this period, the original armament was the same across all the ships of the common class, of which the "Arrogant" class ships were members. Two ships were ordered on 13 December 1758 to this design (as the same time as the fourth and fifth units of the "Bellona" class), and a further ten ships were built to a slightly modified version of the "Arrogant" design from 1773 onwards.
