Sadly this entire categorisation is untrue. Much research has taken place recently into the 74-gun and 80-gun ships of the Spanish Navy in the 1780s and 1790s. The results appear in the new Spanish Warships in the Age of Sail 1700-1860 by Rif Winfield, John Tredrea, Enrique Garcia-Torralba Pérez and Manuel Blasco Felip, published 2023 by Seaforth Publishing. The Montañés was a one-off design - ordered to this new design on 24 November 1792 and the last 74-gun ship to come from Spanish yards. It was intended that further 74-gun ships would be built to this design, but instead Retamosa replaced them with an entirely fresh design for a longer 80-gun ship, to which design the Neptuno and Argonauta were built. The earlier Monarca was not built to a Retamosa design at all, but to the previous San Ildefonso class design of Jose Romero Fernandez de Landa.
