The ''Suffren'' class was a late type of 90-gun ships of the line of the French Navy. The design was created on 30 January 1824 by an appointed Commission comprising Jean-Marguerite Tupinier, Jacques-Noël Sané, Pierre Rolland, Pierre Lair and Jean Delamoriniere. Intended as successors of the 80-gun ''Bucentaure'' class, they introduced the innovation of having straight walls, instead of the tumblehome design that had prevailed until then; this tended to heighten the ships' centre of gravity, but provided much more room for equipment in the upper decks. Stability issues were fixed with underwater stabilisers. == Units == Fourteen ships were ordered to this design, of which twelve were modified as steam-driven vessels. * ''Suffren'' :Builder: Cherbourg :Begun: August 1824 :Launched: 27 August 1829 :Completed: March 1831 :Fate: Deleted February 1861, renamed ''Ajax'' in April 1865, and taken to pieces 1874-76. * ''Inflexible'' :Builder: Rochefort :Begun: August 1827 :Launched: 21 November 1839 :Completed: August 1840 :Fate: Condemned August 1875. * ''Bayard'' :Builder: Lorient :Begun: July 1823 :Launched: 28 August 1847 :Completed: August 1849 :Fate: Renamed ''Triton'' in August 1876 * ''Duguesclin'' :Builder: Rochefort :Begun: March 1823 :Launched: 3 May 1848 :Completed: August 1848 :Fate: Wrecked 14 December 1859; refloated and taken to pieces in June 1860 * ''Breslaw'' :Builder: Brest :Begun: May 1827 :Launched: 31 July 1848 :Completed: 1849 :Fate: Deleted in May 1871, renamed ''Breslau'' 1881 and taken to pieces 1886-87. * ''Charlemagne'' :Builder: Toulon :Begun: April 1834 :Launched: 16 January 1851 :Completed: December 1851 (as steam screw ship) :Fate: Condemned in February 1882.
