The Formidable was Man O' War in the French Navy, and one of seven legendary ships encountered by the Assassin-turned-Templar Shay Cormac in the North Atlantic, during the Seven Years' War.[1]
In 1759, the Formidable participated in the Battle of Quiberon Bay against the Royal Navy, but despite assistance from several fireships, she was sunk by Shay's sloop-of-war, the Morrigan.[2]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Historically, the Formidable was captured by the Royal Navy and dismantled in 1768, instead of being sunk during the Battle of Quiberon Bay.

- When observed through the spyglass, the Formidable did not display a crew.
- It is possible, though quite difficult, to lead fireships to ram the Formidable, dealing serious damage to the ship.
