Terrible was a 110-gun ship of the line of the French Navy, lead ship of her class.
Career
In 1780, she was under Chateauvert.[1]
In 1783, she took part in a Franco-Spanish fleet assembled before Cádiz under Admiral d'Estaing, but the end of the American Revolutionary War occurred before it saw action.[2][3]
She took part in the Glorious First of June, where she was dismasted by HMS Royal Sovereign. She later took part in the campaign of Winter 1794–1795, and in the Cruise of Bruix.
She was decommissioned in 1802, condemned in May 1804, and eventually broken up in October.
