August 1794, and rejoined Brest on 27 of the same month. On 29 December 1794, under Captain Louis-Marie Le Gouardun, Révolutionnaire departed from Brest for the Croisière du Grand Hiver, where she sustained severe structural damage from the foul weather. She limped back to Brest on 2 February 1795, her hull leaking heavily. Too damaged in the Croisière du Grand Hiver to be repaired, she was struck on 28 January 1796 and broken up between January and May 1796. Legacy A scale model of the Bretagne is on display at Brest naval museum (MnM 13 MG 4). Admiral François-Edmond Pâris states that it was built by of under supervision from Forfait around 1780. The model depicts Bretagne in her 1777 state (no coppering yet, but already 16 guns on the castles, 10 on the quarterdeck and 6 on the forecastle). The ornaments are not quite realistic: the aft is overly decorated compared to the drawings to master sculptor Lubet, and the figurehead is a woman carrying the arms of Bretagne, reflecting a project that was never realised in reality. The actual figurehead featured a lion carrying the arms of Bretagne. Bretagne is depicted on the painting Vue du port de Brest en 1793 by Jean-François Hue. Claude Forrer published a plan of Bretagne by master sculptor Lubet in Neptunia 202 in June 1996.
