French ship Soleil (1642)

The ''Soleil'' (Sun) was a French warship launched in 1642. Further details regarding its specifications, career, and ultimate fate are currently lacking in readily available historical records. Information on its armament, size, commanders, participation in any significant battles or voyages, and date of decommissioning or destruction remains elusive. Research into French naval archives and contemporary accounts may reveal more information. The name itself, however, suggests it may have been a ship of some importance, given the symbolic significance of the sun in royal iconography. Further investigation is needed to flesh out a more complete entry.
