Bernard-Marie Boudin de Tromelin (Morlaix, 15 February 1735 — Lyon, 4 December 1815)[1][2] was a French Navy officer.

Biography

Born to Marie-Françoise Le Diouguel de Penanru and Jacques Boudin de Tromelin,[3] Tromelin started his career in the army as a lieutenant in the régiment du Limousin, and taking part in the Siege of Maastricht. [2]

Tromelin joined the navy as a Garde-Marine on 6 July 1750. On 11 October 1755, he was promoted to ensign. He served on the 22-gun frigate Hermine from 7 December 1760 to 26 November 1761 under Lieutenant Toussaint Julien Auffray du Guélambert,[2] taking part in the Battle of Cape Finisterre on 13 and 14 August 1761.[1]

Promoted to lieutenant on 1 May 1763, he took command of Normande from 29 December 1767 to July 1770.[1][2] On 24 April 1769, he was admitted as a member of the Académie de Marine.[2] From 2 March 1771 to October 1783, he was in charge of improving infrastructure in Port-Louis harbour.[2]

Promoted to captain on 4 April 1777, he was given command of the 38-gun frigate Consolante.[1] On 10 August, he transferred to the 64-gun Brillant.[1] On 11 November 1779, he was promoted to membre ordinaire of the Académie de Marine.[2]

In May 1781, Read-Admiral Thomas d'Estienne d'Orves, whose health compromised the ability to command, put Tromelin in effective charge of his squadron. [4]

On 26 October 1781, he transferred to the 74-gun Annibal, which he commanded at the Battle of Sadras on 17 February 1782,[5] at the Battle of Providien on 12 April 1782, [6] at the Battle of Negapatam on 6 July 1782, [7] and at the Battle of Trincomalee on 3 September 1782. [8][1]

Tromelin came in conflict with Suffren, who accused him of mounting a cabale of captains and officers against him.[9][10] Several, including Saint-Félix, Morard de Galles,[11] La Landelle and Tromelin-Lanuguy, as well as Tromelin himself, had requested a transfer[12] Tromelin requested to be relieved and left the squadron after the Battle of Trincomalee, embarking on Pulvérisateur on 3 September 1782, bound for Isle de France.[10]

Tromelin was expelled from the navy on 25 July 1784[1] and stripped of his pension.[2] He was likewise expelled from the Académie de Marine.[2]

Rehabilitated on 1 January 1793, he was promoted to vice-admiral, but never commanded again. He retired on 6 June 1795. [2]
