HMS Foudroyant Two Royal Navy ships have been named Foudroyant, the name derived from the French, meaning "Thunderbolt". A third was planned but later renamed:
HMS Foudroyant (1798) HMS "Foudroyant" was an 80-gun third rate of the Royal Navy, one of only two British-built 80-gun ships of the period (the other was HMS Caesar (1793)). "Foudroyant" was built in the dockyard at Plymouth Dock (a.k.a. Devonport) and launched on 31 March 1798. "Foudroyant" served Nelson as his flagship from 6 June 1799 until the end of June 1801.
HMS Foudroyant (1798) Her designer was Sir John Henslow. She was named after the 80-gun , which and , both 70-gun ships, and (64 guns), had captured from the French on 28 February 1758.
HMS Foudroyant (1798) Dacres' command lasted for four months, before Captain William Brown replaced him on 22 March 1799. On 30 March "Foudroyant" was among the several British warships in sight, and so entitled to share in the prize money, when captured the "Saint Joseph" or "Hermosa Andalusia", off Cadiz.
HMS Foudroyant (1798) On 13 October, "Foudroyant" entered Port Mahon harbour, and Captain Sir Edward Berry replaced Captain Hardy as acting captain. "Foudroyant" was back in Palermo by 22 October. Nelson remained ashore when "Foudroyant" departed for Gozo on 29 October, together with "Minotaur". In November, after weathering a storm in Palermo harbour, "Foudroyant" departed once more, this time with "Culloden", and ran aground in the Straits of Messina. With "Culloden"'s assistance, it was possible to haul the ship off and into deep water. On 6 December a large part of the 89th Regiment embarked on "Foudroyant". The soldiers landed at St. Paul's Bay, on Malta on the 10th.
