Career
Régénérateur was one of the ships built in the various shipyards captured by the First French Empire in Holland and Italy in a crash programme to replenish the ranks of the French Navy. Started as Severo, she was built in Venice under supervision of engineers Moro and Andrea Salvini following plans by Sané; in 1807, she was renamed Régénérateur (or possibly Regeneratore or Regenitore).[1]
Régénérateur was surrendered to Austria at the fall of Venice, and commissioned in the Austrian Navy. In 1823, she was razéed into a frigate and renamed Bellona. She was eventually broken up in 1831.[1]
