''Jean-Jacques Rousseau'' was a 74-gun ship of the line of the French Navy. In October 1796, under Captain Racord, she was part of the Villeneuve's squadron that sailed from Toulon to Brest. On 2 December 1802, she was renamed to ''Marengo'', reflecting the political change away from the Revolutionary Republic inspired by Jean-Jacques Rousseau towards the advent of General (soon to be Emperor) Bonaparte. In 1803 she sailed to the Indian Ocean as Linois' flagship, notably taking part in the Battle of Pulo Aura and the Battle of Vizagapatam. At the Action of 13 March 1806 Linois met with the division of Vice-Admiral Sir John Warren, with seven ships of the line (including the 90-gun , the 74-gun and , and the 80-gun ), two frigates (including the 36-gun ) and one corvette. After a fierce duel with ''London'', ''Marengo'' struck her colours; battled against ''Amazon'' and later against ''Ramilles'', and had to surrender as well. ''Marengo'' was taken into British service as HMS ''Marengo''. She was used as a prison hulk from 1809 until she was broken up in 1816. ==See also== * List of ships of the line of France 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「French ship Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1795)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
