The Arrogant-class ships of the line were a class of twelve 74-gun third-rate ships that served in the Royal Navy. The ships were built in two batches; the first pair during the 1760s and the others during the 1780s.
The Arrogant-class ships were designed as a development of the co-Surveyor of the Navy, Sir Thomas Slade's previous , sharing the same basic dimensions. It was one of the "common" type of 74 with lighter guns than those of the "large" classes. Two ships were ordered on 13 December 1758 to this design (at the same time as the fourth and fifth units of the Bellona class), and a further ten ships were built to a slightly modified version of the design from 1773 onwards.
The design measured on the gundeck and on the keel. It had a beam of , a depth of hold of and had a tonnage of 1,614 <small></small> tons burthen. The ships' crew numbered 550, for the first batch, or 600, for the second batch, officers and ratings. They were fitted with three masts and were ship-rigged.
The ships were armed with 74 muzzle-loading, smoothbore guns that consisted of twenty-eight 32-pounder guns on their lower gundeck and twenty-eight 18-pounder guns on their upper deck. Their forecastle mounted four 9-pounder guns. On their quarterdeck they carried fourteen 9-pounder guns.
