Inflexible was a 64-gun ship constructed by Pierre Morineau between 1752 and 1754 and launched from Rochefort in 1755. It was constructed during the period of shipbuilding between the conclusion of the War of Austrian Succession (1748) and the commencement of the Seven Years' War (1755).[3] The ship participated in many missions during this conflict and was lost at sea in 1760 following its involvement in the Battle of Quiberon Bay.
