Career
Renommée entered service in 1767. In 1775, she underwent a refit.[1]
In 1776, Renommée was commanded by Monteil, and part of the Escadre d'évolution under Du Chaffault.[1][2] On 20 April 1776, she touched a reef while departing Brest. Du Chaffault defended Monteil, writing to the Navy Minister that "only those who command ships run the risk of losing them".[1][Note 1] Renommée was refloated a few days after, sent to a dry dock for repairs, and returned to service in June. [3]
Renommée was broken up in 1784.[1]
