- Scipion was a French warship of the 18th century, lead ship of her class. It was completed in 1779. Accounts cited that it was one of the three new naval vessels - along with Hercule (1798) and Pluton (1778) - built by the French that was so top-heavy, they nearly capsized. To correct Scipion's problem, a stowage was altered and a ballast replaced a part of the water supply. These remedies, however, failed so the French had to shorten the mast to make it seaworthy. Scipion took part in the American War of Independence, notably sailing at the rear of the French squadron at the Battle of the Chesapeake under Antoine Pierre de Clavel. In the action of 18 October 1782, under Captain Nicolas Henri de Grimouard, Scipion fought gallantly against two British ships of the line of 90 and 74 guns. Through good sailmanship, she managed to damage HMS London and escape, but was destroyed the next day after she was chased and ran aground. (en)
- Le Scipion est un vaisseau de ligne de 74 canons de la Marine royale française. Ses plans sont de l'ingénieur Clairin Deslauriers. Mis en chantier début 1778, il est lancé à Rochefort le 19 septembre 1778. La rapidité de sa construction est due à la mobilisation navale qui correspond à l'entrée de la France dans la guerre d'Indépendance Américaine. Il sert pendant la guerre d'indépendance des États-Unis, conflit qui voit sa perte en 1782. (fr)
