French ship Jupiter (1789)

French ship Jupiter (1789)

The "Jupiter" was a "Téméraire" class 74-gun ship of the line of the French Navy.

Between 1791 and 1793, she was based in Saint-Domingue. In March 1794, she was renamed "Montagnard". On 29 May, during the May 1794 Atlantic campaign, she encountered a British squadron; in the issuing battle, she sustained damaged which prevented her from taking part in the Glorious First of June itself.

She was renamed "Démocrate" on 18 May 1795, and back to "Jupiter" on 30 May. On 7 August, she took part in the recapture of "Censeur".

She was renamed "Batave" on 27 April 1798. The next year, she took part in the Cruise of Bruix.

Condemned in 1807, she was broken up in Brest.
