Description
The Hermione was started in December 1778 at the Rochefort arsenal on plans by Henri Chevillard, known as Chevillard Aîné. We are then in the middle of a war of American independence and the French shipyards are operating at full speed. The frigate was floated on April 28, 1779, less than six months after it was put on hold, and masted on April 30. Armament began on May 1, 1779, and ended on May 11.
