French ship Juste (1726)
The ''Juste'' ("Juste") was a 74-gun ship of the line of the French Navy, built on plans by engineer Geslin. She took part in the Battle of Quiberon Bay on 20 November 1759 during the Seven Years' War and was lost at the mouth of the Loire after the battle while trying to rejoin Saint Nazaire.
==Career==
''Juste'' was laid down in 1724 and launched in September 1725, joining the active service the next year. She was overhauled in Brest from 1741, where she sustained light damage on 25 December of the following year, when a fire started in the wood workshop propagated to her. She was again hove down in Brest in 1744, and overhauled in Rochefort in 1751.〔
On 14 November 1759, under Captain François de Saint Aloüarn,〔 she was part of a 20-ship and 5-frigate strong squadron under Marshal de Conflans that was to attempt a landing in Cornwall for the planned French Invasion of Britain. The French fleet was intercepted by the English ships under Admiral Hawke on 20 November.
In the ensuing Battle of Quiberon Bay, ''Juste'' was in the rear-guard of the French fleet, taking the forth position in the line of the srd Division.〔(N°3 (printemps 2009) - Le Pouliguen )〕 ''Juste'' was engaged by up to four English ship and was severely battered, with a number of leaks and her rudder shattered; by 20:00, she was unable to fight, her captain mortally wounded and her first officer killed,〔Pierre de la Condamine, ''Le Combat des Cardinaux''.〕 and limped back to Penchâteau Point to effect summary repairs.〔 She then attempted to proceed to Saint Nazaire〔 at low tide, and ran aground in the mouth of the Loire, at Chemoulin Point,〔 a few miles before reaching safety. Her crew threw all cargo overboard to lighten the ship and prevent her from breaking, even cutting her masts, but to no avail: ''Juste'' settled on the bottom and her crew abandoned the ship. She then broke and sank within the next three hours.〔 About 150 of her crew survived.〔
