INDOMTABLE - A SHIP WITH A LEGENDARY STORY

Indomptable, an 80-gun Tonnant-class ship, was launched in 1788 and saw significant action starting in 1791. She faced her first challenge at The Glorious First of June, where she was severely injured. Indomptable was part of the fleet under Admiral Villeneuve bound for the West Indies and engaged fiercely at Trafalgar before her devastating wreck offshore from Cadiz.

FORMIDABLE - THE FLAGSHIP OF BATTLE

Originally named Figuieres, Formidable was an 80-gun Tonnant-class vessel that saw action in several major naval battles, including Trafalgar as part of the fleet vanguard. After being captured by the British, she was renamed HMS Brave and was ultimately decommissioned in 1816.

ARGONAUTE - A VALIANT WARRIOR

Argonaute, a 74-gun ship of the line, fought under Vice-amiral Villaret de Joyeuse during the expedition to Saint-Domingue in 1802. While she played a role in the Battle of Trafalgar, heavy damage and a British blockade kept her from escaping Cadiz, leading to her eventual exchange and renaming.
