The Triomphante class was a class of four small corvettes (described as "corvette-canonnières") built for the French Navy, designed by Jean-Francois Chaumont as a follow-on to the Foudre-class corvette-canonnières (which had been designed by engineer Jean Tupinier to transport Napoleon himself and his general officers and staff during the planned invasion of England). [2] Two of the Triomphante-class were built by Jean Tupinier himself at Le Havre, and two by Jean-Louis Pestel at Honfleur. The vessels were flush-decked and designed to carry a battery of four 24-pounder guns. [3]
