 After Campoformio, the remaining vessels were destroyed by the French to avoid their capture by the Austrian Empire.Almost all the ships of this class were planned and started before 1739, completed to a 70%, then stored in the roofed shipbuilding docks of the Arsenale to be finished and launched when the Venetian Navy need them, a solution the British Royal Navy adopted only in 1810, when the docks at Chatham were covered.This decision, mostly due to the chronic lack of funds of the Republic of Venice in its final years, led to the maintenance in service of older and inferior ships than the ones built at the same time for the British Royal Navy and the French Royal Navy.
