Egyptian (1799 ship)

The Egyptian was a French Navy ship launched in 1799. She was a 74-gun Téméraire-class ship of the line, built according to plans by Jacques-Noël Sané. Her construction took place during a period of significant naval activity between France and Great Britain.

Details on the Egyptian's specific service history are scarce, but ships of her class generally saw action in various naval engagements of the Napoleonic Wars. Téméraire-class ships were widely used by the French fleet and participated in major battles. It is highly probable that the Egyptian was involved in fleet actions or convoy escort duties in the Mediterranean or Atlantic theaters.

The fate of the Egyptian is currently unverified. Further research is needed to determine how she was ultimately disposed of – whether captured, scuttled, or decommissioned. Records of French naval ships from this period are sometimes incomplete or dispersed across various archives, making definitive confirmation difficult.
