Fougueux was a third-rate ship of the line of the French Royal Navy, designed by Jacques-Luc Coulomb.[1]
Fougueux was captured by the Royal Navy in 1747 during the Second Battle of Cape Finisterre. After this, the ship was commissioned into the Royal Navy under the name HMS Fougueux. In 1758 it was used in the expedition against Île de Gorée.[2]
