French ship Colosse

Three vessels of the French Navy have borne the name Colosse ("Colossus"):

Bizarre (1672), a 36-gun frigate, bore the name Colosse in her late career.
Colosse (1813), a Téméraire-class ship of the line, bore the name before being razeed into the 60-gun frigate Pallas
Friedland (1840), an Océan-class 118-gun ship of the line, bore the name Colosse when she was used as a barack hulk.
