Prince Jérôme was a late ship of the line of the French Navy. Started in 1827 as the Hercule-class Hannibal, she was abandoned for nearly thirty years before being completed under the Second French Empire as a steam-powered ship of the line, under the name Prince Jérôme. Obsolete at the rise of the French Third Republic, she was renamed Hoche and struck shortly after. She was recommissioned in 1872 as a transport under the name Loire, and ended her career in 1885 as a hulk in Saigon.
