French frigate Renommée (1767)

Renommée was a 40-gun frigate of the French Navy.

Career
Renommée entered service in 1767. In 1775, she underwent a refit.

In 1776, Renommée was commanded by Monteil, and part of the Escadre d'évolution under Du Chaffault. On 20 April 1776, she touched a reef while departing Brest. Du Chaffault defended Monteil, writing to the Navy Minister that "only those who command ships run the risk of losing them". Renommée was refloated a few days after, sent to a dry dock for repairs, and returned to service in June.

Renommée was broken up in 1784.
