Abstract: [eng] Abstract : A fundamental mainstay of military power for any State in modern times, up to the revolutionary era, the upkeep of a standing navy bore down massively on the country's economic resources and its industrial infrastructure. For the purposes of evaluating the importance of this military element, and the related requirements in materials, manpower, and funding, an index has been compiled, of the men-of-war and frigates that constituted the French Navy, from 1660 to 1815. This article first considers the ship, as the basic unit of index data, going on to such topics as data gathering and choice of computing techniques, then outlining the approach adhered to, and the benefits accruing from such a methodology. [fre] Résumé : Fondement essentiel de la puissance militaire de tout Etat d'Ancien Régime, la marine de guerre pèse considérablement sur l'économie du pays et son infrastructure industrielle. Afin d'évaluer ce poids militaire et les besoins correspondants en matériels, hommes, finances, il a été constitué un fichier des vaisseaux et frégates constituant la marine française de 1660 à 1815. Cet article traite successivement du vaisseau comme élément de base du fichier, de la collecte des informations, du choix informatique, de la problématique suivie et des gains tirés de cette méthode.
