The Centaure class was a class of 74-gun ships of the line of the French Navy, comprising four ships, all of which built at Toulon Dockyard to a design by Joseph-Marie-Blaise Coulomb in the year following the close of the American Revolutionary War. After the first two ships were begun, the design was amended for the second pair (which were 5¼ feet longer, and also had slightly less breadth and depth in hold) – which are accordingly often described as the Séduisant Class. All four ships were destroyed or captured by the British navy during the French Revolutionary War.
