The ''Surveillante'' Class was a type of sixty-gun frigate of the French Navy, designed in 1823 by Mathurin-François Boucher.〔(Maquette de bateau, Belle Poule, frégate de 1er rang, 1834 ), Musée national de la Marine〕 One of the main innovations with respect to previous design was the disappearance of the gangways, which provided a flush deck capable of harbouring a complete second battery. With the standardisation on the 30-pounder calibre for all naval ordnance that occurred in the 1820s, this design allowed for a frigate throwing a 900-pound broadside, thrice the firepower of the 40-gun ''Pallas'' class that constituted the majority of the frigate forces during the Empire, and comparable to that of a 74-gun. By far the best-known ship of the class is the ''Belle Poule'', which achieved fame when she transported the ashes of Napoléon back to France; for this occasion, she was painted all black, a colour scheme that she retained later in her career, but which is uncharacteristic of the ships of this type. *''Surveillante''〔Roche, p.428〕 :Builder: Lorient :Begun: :Launched: 29 September 1825 :Completed: :Fate: deleted 22 August 1844. *''Belle Gabrielle''〔Roche, p.69〕 :Builder: Cherbourg :Begun: :Launched: 28 June 1828 :Completed: :Fate: renamed ''Indépendante'' 9 August 1830, deleted 24 October 1860. *''Melpomène''〔Roche, p.304〕 :Builder: Cherbourg :Begun: :Launched: 28 July 1828 :Completed: :Fate: deleted 20 March 1845. *''Herminie''〔Roche, p.241〕 :Builder: Lorient :Begun: :Launched: 25 August 1828 :Completed: :Fate: wrecked off Bermuda 3 December 1838. *''Belle Poule''〔Roche, p.70〕 :Builder: Cherbourg :Begun: :Launched: 26 March 1834 :Completed: :Fate: deleted 19 March 1861. *''Sémillante''〔Roche, p.410〕 :Builder: Lorient :Begun: :Launched: 6 February 1841 :Completed: :Fate: wrecked 16 February 1855 off Bonifacio. *''Andromaque''〔Roche, p.41〕 :Builder: Lorient :Begun: :Launched: 8 March 1841 :Completed: :Fate: deleted 17 August 1869. *''Forte'' 〔Roche, p.208〕 :Builder: Cherbourg :Begun: :Launched: 16 September 1841 :Completed: :Fate: deleted 23 October 1883. *''Pallas''〔Roche, p.339〕 :Builder: Lorient :Begun: :Launched: 15 August 1860 :Completed: :Fate: hulked 23 October 1883 == Sources and references == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Surveillante-class frigate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
