context_page_description: The tables excludes privateer frigates, which were not part of the Marine Royale, as well as frigates built for the French East India Company unless the latter were subsequently acquired by the French Navy.
  Note that throughout this article the term "-pounder" refers to French pre-metric units of weight - livres - which were almost 8% greater than UK/US units of the same name; every other maritime power likewise established its own system of weights and each country's 'pound' was different from that of every other nation. Similarly French pre-metric units of length were 6.575% longer than equivalent UK/US units of measurement; the pre-metric French pied was equivalent to 324.8394 mm, whereas the UK/US foot equalled 304.8 mm. These differences should be taken into account in any calculations based on the units given below.
