French ship Océan (1756)
Océan was an 80-gun ship in the French Navy, the first ship to bear that name. She was designed by Antoine Groignard and constructed at Toulon by Joseph Véronique-Charles Chapelle. Her name "Océan", subsequently reserved for the largest units of the French Navy, is evidence of the change of focus from large three-deckers into strong two-deckers. She was Comte de la Clue's flagship at the battle of Lagos, where she ran aground in Almadora Bay and was burnt by the British.
