This ship deserves his place in history and must be available to sail.

Is it to the three fleurs-de-lis that we survived the end of the monarchy?

  was deleted / replaced later?

certainly, it would be very surprising if these  « fleurs de lys » survived the "Convention nationale" 😆.  the names of the ships themselves changed according to successive political regime

the Redoutable was called Suffren at its launch in 1791 until 1794

Je demande ça parce que j'ai lu, au sujet des pavillons, sur le site de l'Ecole navale :

Quote

Le 5 décembre 1790, le ministre Fleurieu ordonna que « tous les bâtiments de la flotte française arbore le pavillon tricolore en mettant dans cette cérémonie l’appareil et la majesté nécessaires, observant qu’on ferait en cela une chose agréable au roi ». Mais la marine, très attachée à ses traditions, ne tint pas compte de ce changement. Le 15 février 1794, Jean Bon Saint-André, envoyé à Brest fit supprimer par la Convention l’usage du pavillon de 1790 au quartier tricolore pour imposer le pavillon national. Pourtant lors de la bataille d’Ouessant le 1e juin 1794, seuls le Redoutable et la Montagne où se trouvaient Jean Bon Saint-André et Villaret-Joyeuse portaient le pavillon réglementaire. Tous les autres navires sans exception portaient encore le pavillon blanc à quartier tricolore qui fût tout de même accepté par les officiers et les équipages au moment où le décret de février venait à nouveau de tout bouleverser.

Je n'ai pas cherché de sources pour le confirmer/infirmer.

Ce qui est (peut-être) vrai pour un morceau de tissu facilement changeable (et que l'auteur de ces lignes appelle "traditions")  peut l'être (un temps) pour un morceau du décor sculpté...

Il existe certainement des plans british de navires français capturés à l'époque pour trancher la question.

Any French ship has an article in her shipname : Le, La or L'

here you go..

if they did not /could not sink it by cannon fire 

they just sabotage it by explosives... a ship has a soul .. i call it murder..

the people who are watching ,must have second thoughts about this...and call it a execution  

disgusting rulers i say...

so a good idea to restore the ship for active duty...

The San Juan Nepomuceno was French in design 

True.

Unfortunately, in Spain, after the fall of Ensenada and due to political issues, the construction model studied by Jorge Juan was gradually replaced by the French model, and the naval recovery plans in Spain were stagnant. Shortly before Jorge Juan died, he wrote a harsh letter to Carlos III for his blind subordination to the French naval model, predicting serious losses, as would happen in Trafalgar 32 years later, when light English ships, surely inspired by Juan's studies, gave at the end with the heavy and ancient Spanish-French fleet.

French 74-gun Téméraire, 80-gun Tonnant and 118-gun Océan, etc. classes, being shit ?

Not sure all the Naval Historians will agree with you... 😉

The two ships are not exactly of the same type. The Duguay-Trouin belongs to a variant. See here. Moreover, Admin seems to imply that this ship will be British in game and only visible as HMS Implacable. It makes too (small) differences.

And NA "is fond of" Trafalgar 🙂

btw I'd rather see in game captured ships with their original name and nationality... (or at least, both versions)

of course, but these two ships remain ships of the temeraire class ... whatever their respective destinies.

so much the better if we have the two in play

I just wanted confirmation.

 

off topic on

as for the theories as to what if some lost to trafalgar because of shipbuilding orientations of French inspirations ... it seems to me that the "Real Carlos" and the "San Hermenegildo" did not need the French for to sink each other ....😆
