French ship Souverain (1757)

In 1792, she was renamed Peuple Souverain ("Sovereign People").

A shot from HMS Orion (at the rear of the British line) cut her cable and she drifted out of position,[1] later in the battle being captured by the British.

[2] She was subsequently recommissioned in the Royal Navy as HMS Guerrier, but was in too bad a shape to serve in the high sea, so she was used as a guard ship.
