Fulminant was the second of the two ships of the Tonnerre-class, coastal defense breastwork monitors built for the French Navy (Marine Nationale) in the 1870s. Launched in 1877, the ship was armed with a main armament of two 274.4 mm (10.8 in) Modèle 1875 guns mounted in a single turret that had armor 300 mm (12 in) thick. In 1887, the vessel was damaged near Brest while sailing between Cherbourg and Toulon, but was swiftly repaired. From 1891, the ship served in the Northern Squadron (Esadre du Nord}. As French naval doctrine moved from a fleet of smaller coastal defense ships to larger ocean-going battleships, the ship had a short active career. The warship was struck in 1908 and served as a target for the ships of the Mediterranean Squadron (Esadre du Meditérranée). Sunk and raised in 1911, Fulminant was sold in 1912 and broken up.
