The ''Seine'' class was a class of 42-gun frigates of the French Navy, designed in 1793 by Pierre-Alexandre Forfait. The vessels were originally designed to carry a main armament of 24-pounder guns, but in the event all six were completed at Le Havre with 18-pounders. The designs of the last pair were modified by the constructor (Charles-Henri Le Tellier) and were somewhat longer than the first four. A further vessel, the ''Furieuse'', was originally ordered at Cherbourg in February 1794 to Forfait's ''Romaine'' class design, but was actually completed to the design of the ''Seine'' class. * ''Seine'' :Builder: Le Havre :Begun: May 1793 :Launched: 19 December 1793 :Completed: March 1794 :Fate: Captured by the Royal Navy on 30 June 1798, becoming HMS ''Seine''. * ''Révolutionnaire'' :Builder: Le Havre :Begun: October 1793 :Launched: 28 May 1794 :Completed: July 1794 :Fate: Captured by the Royal Navy on 21 October 1794, becoming HMS ''Revolutionnaire''. * ''Spartiate'' :Builder: Le Havre :Begun: May 1794 :Launched: late November 1794 :Completed: December 1794 :Fate: Renamed ''La Pensée'' May 1795.
