HMS Hercule (1798)
HMS ''Hercule'' was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy. She was previously ''Hercule'', a ship of the line of the French Navy, but was captured on her maiden voyage in 1798, and spent the rest of her career as a British ship. She was broken up in 1810.
==French career and capture==
During her maiden journey, on 21 April 1798, and just 24 hours out of port, she was captured by the British ship after a violent fight at the Battle of the Raz de Sein, off Île de Sein near Brest. ''Hercule'' attempted to escape through the Passage du Raz, but the tide was running in the wrong direction, and she was forced to anchor, giving the British the chance to attack at close quarters. The two ships were of equal force, both seventy-fours, but ''Hercule'' was newly commissioned; after more than an hour and a half of bloody fighting at close quarters she struck her colours at 10.30 pm, having lost — by her own officers' estimate — 290 men killed and wounded. On ''Mars'' 31 men were killed, including her captain, Alexander Hood, and 60 wounded. Captain Louis Lhéritier of ''Hercule'' was wounded by sabre and spike leading his boarding party.
The ''Hercule'' was recommissioned in the Royal Navy as HMS ''Hercule''.
