HMS Duc de la Vauginon (1779)

The HMS Duc de la Vauguyon was a French 64-gun ship of the line, launched in 1779. Captured by the British Royal Navy during the American Revolutionary War, she was subsequently commissioned into the British fleet. Details regarding her specific career within the Royal Navy, including dates of service, commanders, and ultimate fate (e.g., sale, wreck, etc.), are unfortunately scarce in readily available historical records. Further research into naval archives and historical logs would be necessary to provide a more complete account of her service. More information on the battle in which she was captured would also clarify her history.
