The Foudroyant was an 80-gun ship of the line of the French Navy launched in 1750. She was captured during the Battle of Cartagena 17 February 1758 and served in the Royal Navy as the Third Rate HMS Foudroyant. Horatio Nelson's cousin, Stephen Hammick, was the 2nd of HMS Monmouth when it captured Foudroyant.

This was the HMS Foudroyant the ship you cited was named for.
