The Océan-type ships of the line were a series of 16 first-rate 118-gun ships of the line of the French navy, designed by engineer Jacques-Noël Sané. Fifteen were completed from 1788 on, with the last one entering service in 1854. The first of the series was the Commerce de Marseille. The 5,100 ton 118-gun type was the largest type of ship built up to then, besting the Spanish ship Santísima Trinidad.

  • The Océan-type ships of the line were a series of 16 first-rate 118-gun ships of the line of the French navy, designed by engineer Jacques-Noël Sané. Fifteen were completed from 1788 on, with the last one entering service in 1854. The first of the series was the Commerce de Marseille. The 5,100 ton 118-gun type was the largest type of ship built up to then, besting the Spanish ship Santísima Trinidad. Up to 1790 Great Britain, the largest of the battle fleet nations, had not built especially large battleships because the need for large numbers of ships had influenced its battleship policy. The French initiated a new phase in battleship competition when they laid down a large number of three-deckers of around 5,000 tons. Along with the 74-gun of the Téméraire type and the 80-gun of the Tonnant type, the Océan 120-gun type was to become one of the three French standard types of battleships during the war period 1793 to 1815. These were the most powerful ships of the Napoleonic Wars and a total of ten served during that time. These ships, however, were quite expensive in terms of building materials, artillery and manpower and so were reserved for admirals as their fleet flagships. Some of the ships spent 40 years on the stocks and were still in service in 1860, three of them having been equipped with auxiliary steam engines in the 1850s.
  • Modèle:Infobox navire de guerre La classe Commerce de Marseille est une série de seize vaisseaux de 118 canons, lancés par la France entre 1788 et 1854. La première unité de la série est le Commerce de Marseille, lancé en 1788, d'où le nom de cette série. Elle est toutefois souvent appelée classe Océan du nom de l’Océan deuxième navire construit sur le même modèle, qui a fait une très longue carrière, contrairement au Commerce de Marseille. Il s'agit de vaisseaux à trois ponts, nettement plus grands que tous les autres vaisseaux des marines de guerre de la fin du Modèle:XVIIIe siècle. Puissants et solides lors des combats, ils sont aussi manœuvrant que les deux-ponts français de 74 canons et 80 canons de la même époque, quoiqu'un peu plus lents. Ils sont aussi plus coûteux et exigeants à construire, et demandent un équipage nettement plus nombreux, ce qui explique que seize seulement seront mis en chantier avant la chute de l'Empire.
