Three ships of the French Navy have borne the name Brutus in honour of several Roman politicians named Brutus: Note: The Brutus Français, (ex-Pulaski, ex-Pichegru, and frequently referred to in news reports as Brutus), was a French 20-gun privateer operating highly successfully out of Charleston, South Carolina in 1795, in the Caribbean.
This was not Brutus (1780–1795) above.
