  • The Loire-class flûte was a French Navy class of two 20-gun flûtes that Louis, Antoine, and Marhurin Crucy, Basse Indre, built to a design by François-Louis Etesse, and under a contract dated 5 November 1802. Both were at anchor at Anse à la Barque, Guadeloupe when their crews burned them on 18 December 1809 to avoid their falling into British hands during an attack by a British squadron comprising His Majesty's Ships Sceptre, Blonde, Thetis, , , Hazard, Ringdove, and Elizabeth. British accounts of the battle generally refer to "the two armées en flute and late 40-gun frigates Loire and Seine". However, this description is a little misleading. The class were not designed as frigates, and then modified; they were designed as flûtes. Furthermore, they were lightly armed; their armament was heavy enough to deter British privateers, and small naval vessels such as schooners, cutters, and brigs, but not heavy enough to deter sloops or frigates.
