Orient was an 118-gun Océan-class ship of the line of the French Navy best known for her role as flagship of Vice-Admiral François-Paul Brueys d'Aigalliers' fleet at the Battle of the Nile on 1 August 1798, and for her spectacular destruction that day when her magazine exploded. The event was commemorated by numerous poems and paintings. Prior to its destruction, Orient was one of the largest warships in the world.
