Le Royal Louis was a 3-deck warship with 120 guns. Her captain was a Squadron Admiral. Le Royal Louis was one of the most powerful first-rank vessels belonging to the French Royal Navy at the time. Our model is based on the plans of 1779.
She was renamed Républicain in 1792. Under this name, she took part in the Third Battle of Ushant, being the last ship of the French rear. She was attacked, totally dismasted, and struck her colours; however, the British failed to capture her, and she returned to Rochefort.
On 24 December 1794, she took part in the Croisière du Grand Hiver. As the fleet exited Brest harbour, she ran aground with the loss of 10 men. Her crew abandoned ship, and the wreck was destroyed in a tempest a few days later.
