The ''Argonaute'' class was a class of two 74-gun ships of the French Navy, built to a common design by naval constructor François-Guillaume Clairin-Deslauriers. The design was lengthened by 4feet 9½ inches (4½ ''pieds'') from the designer's previous ''Scipion'' class, which had been found to lack stability. The designer died on 10 October 1780, and the construction of these ships was completed by Jean-Denis Chevillard, who was appointed his successor as ''ingénieur-constructeur en chef'' at that dockyard in July 1781.〔Winfield & Roberts, ''French Warships in the Age of Sail 1786-1861'', p.86.〕 == Ships == *''Argonaute''〔Roche, p.48〕 :Builder: Rochefort Dockyard :Ordered: June 1779 :Begun: August 1779 :Launched: 5 June 1781 :Completed: December 1781 :Fate: Cut down (''raséed'') to a 'heavy' frigate 1793-94 and renamed ''Flibustier''; disarmed in December 1795 and later taken to pieces. *''Brave'' 〔Roche, p.84〕 :Builder: Lorient Dockyard :Ordered: June 1779 :Begun: October 1779 :Launched: 6 June 1781 :Completed: November 1781 :Fate: Cut down (''raséed'') to a 'heavy' frigate 1793-94 (but not renamed); reduced to a hulk at Brest in January 1798, and later taken to pieces. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Argonaute-class ship of the line」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
