}} | The Duc de Bourgogne was an 80-gun ship of the line of the French Navy. She was refitted twice, in and 1761 and 1779, having her hull coppered. Under Chef d'Escadre Charles-Henri-Louis Arsac de Ternay, she was the flagship of the expeditionary corps that left on 2 May 1780 for the American war of Independence, and carried the Count of Rochambeau. She took part in the Battle of the Saintes, where she collided with Bourgogne.[1] In 1792, she was renamed Peuple, and Caton in 1794. She was condemned in February 1798 at Brest, and eventually broken up in January 1800.[2] Sources and references 1. ^{{cite web|url=http://bertrandjost.chez-alice.fr/Francais/Soldats_oublies/bourgogne.htm|title=Histoire du vaisseau du Roi " La Bourgogne "|work=chez-alice.fr}}
