The ''Vengeance'' class was a type of large sailing frigates designed by Pierre Degay and built in Paimbœuf. Rated at 48 guns,〔 the type was one of the French attempts at increasing the firepower of frigates by mounting a 24-pounder main battery, as was tried with Forfait's ''Romaine'' class. The attempt was unsuccessful, and the ships mounted 18-pounder long guns on their main gun deck while in service.〔 Only two ships of the design were built, both being captured by the British and recommissioned in the Royal Navy.〔 * ''Vengeance'' :Builder: Paimbœuf :Begun:June 1793 :Launched: 8 November 1794 :Completed: By April 1795 :Fate: captured on 20 August 1800 by the Royal Navy.
