text: Dauphin-Royal 74 (launched 13 October 1738 at Brest, designed by Blaise Ollivier) – condemned 1783 and hulked; taken to pieces in 1787.
  From the Terrible (of 1739) onwards, the lengthened hulls of new ships meant that they could mount an extra pair of guns on the lower deck and another extra pair on the upper deck; the 4 small guns on the dunette were henceforth abolished. The consequent armament of 28 guns (36-pounders) in their lower deck battery and 30 guns (18-pounders) in their upper deck battery, with 16 guns on the gaillards, thus became the standard for the next 75 years.
