Several members of SOS know the Jean Boudriot monograph
and the POF kit developed by CAF
In this topic I want to summarize additional information about the ship
The Renommée was first commanded by the illustrious Captain Guy Kersaint and was captured when commanded under the command of Francois de Saint-Alouarn. After capture in 1747 she as first named the HMS Fame but before she put to sea she was renamed by the Admiralty as the HMS Renown. Her first English captain was Washington Shirley, the captain who had captured her. She was laid up in ordinance at Hamoaze from 1750 until 1756. At the beginning of the Seven Years Wars she was first used to patrol the Channel and French coast and also sent to the West Indies usually stationed at Port Royal. In 1766 she was out of commission again but put back to sea duty in the West Indies the following year. The remaining years found her on patrol as previously until she was broken up at Woolwich in 1771. She had many captures and actions and the list of her commanders contains some of the finest captains at sea, both French and English, of that age.
relatively unknown is her sistership La Sirene of the same class, which was captured at Cuba 1760
