The Téméraire class ships of the line was a class of 120 74-gun ships of the line ordered between 1782 and 1813 for the French navy or its attached navies in dependent (French-occupied) territories. Although a few of these were cancelled, the type was and remains the most numerous class of capital ship ever built. The class was designed by Jacques-Noël Sané as part of the fleet expansion programme instituted by Jean-Charles de Borda. The design was appreciated in Britain, which eagerly commissioned captured ships and even copied the design with the Pompée and America class.
