[edit] Name

"Le Foudroyant ("the lightening one")":
I don't know the exact meaning, but I thought the English equivalent of this word, particularly as a ship name, would be "Thunderbolt".
(See here) There's picture in the Louvre on the subject, though I can't remember if this is it.
Anyway, I've changed it in the text, if that's OK with everyone. Xyl 54 (talk) 15:36, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
