Biography
Youth
Le Bozec was born to a family of sailors, and started sailing in 1780 on a merchantman. From 1782, he took part in the Naval operations in the American Revolutionary War on the 80-gun Deux Frères, captained by his father.
From 1787 and 1789, he served as second captain on the Comte Esterhazy and the Colombe, and on the Deux Frères again.
First Republic
Le Bozec was promoted to ensign in 1792. The following year, he was given command of the corvette Vaillante, tasked with escort duties in the English Channel. He was involved in a fight with a British corvette, driving her away. He was promoted to lieutenant the same year.
In early 1794, Le Bozec was awarded command of the brand new 24-gun corvette Républicaine. After a number of patrols in the Channel, he joined up with Lhermitte's squadron, bound for Norway.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as french admiral (1769-1830). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 18, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q3383353. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1769, 1830, 1780 and 1782.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
