French ship Tonnant (1787) : ウィキペディア英語版
HMS Tonnant (1798)

}
|}
HMS ''Tonnant'' (French language: "Thundering") was an 80-gun ship of the line of the Royal Navy. She had previously been the ''Tonnant'' of the French Navy and the lead ship of the ''Tonnant'' class. Rear-Admiral Horatio Nelson captured her at Aboukir Bay off the coast of Egypt at the Battle of the Nile on 1 August 1798. She was taken into British service as HMS ''Tonnant''. She went on to fight at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, during the Napoleonic Wars.
''Tonnant'' was the flagship of Vice-Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane during most of the campaign in the Chesapeake Bay during the simultaneous War of 1812 with the United States. On 13–14 September 1814 Francis Scott Key and John Stuart Skinner were dining aboard the ship after negotiations to release some captured prisoners, during the Battle of Baltimore. Key went on to write what later became the words to the American national anthem, The Star Spangled Banner after watching the British attack on Baltimore's Fort McHenry. ''Tonnant'' was broken up in 1821.
==French service==

''Tonnant'' fought in the battles of Genoa on 14 March 1795 and The Nile on 1 August 1798 under Aristide Aubert Du Petit Thouars. During the battle, she severely damaged , causing nearly two hundred casualties, including 50 killed and 143 wounded. Among the dead was ''Majestic''s captain, George Blagdon Westcott. Du Petit-Thouars, who had both legs and an arm shot off, commanded his ship until he died. ''Tonnant'' was the only French ship still engaged in the morning, with her colours flying, though aground. It was not until 3 August that she finally struck her colours.
The British took her into their service, registering and naming her as HMS ''Tonnant'' on 9 December 1798. She arrived at the naval base at Plymouth, England on 17 July 1799.〔Winfield (2008), p.33.〕 Even before she formally entered British service, she was among the vessels that participated in the capture of the Greek vessel ''Ardito'' on 24 October 1798.
''Tonnant'' was commissioned under Captain Loftus Bland in January 1799, with Captain Robert Fitzgerald taking over in February. He sailed her to Gibraltar and then back to Britain. Upon her arrival in Plymouth in 1800 she was laid up in ordinary.〔
