French ship Tigre (1793)

"Tigre" was a 74-gun ship of the line of the French Navy.

Her first captain was Pierre Jean Van Stabel. When Van Stabel was promoted, she became the flagship of his 6-ship squadron. She notably fought in 1793 to rescue the "Sémillante", along with the "Jean Bart".

Under Jacques Bedout, she took part in the Battle of Groix where she was captured by the British. She was recommissioned in the Royal Navy as HMS "Tigre".

She was eventually broken up in June 1817.
