TROUDE, Aimable Gilles (trood), French naval officer, born in Cherbourg, France, 1 June, 1762; died there, 1 February, 1824. He took part in two expeditions to Martinique in 1777, afterward served under D'Estaing at Newport and Boston, and was present in all the naval engagements under Guichen and De Grasse. After the peace of 1783 he entered the mercantile marine, but returned to the service of the state in 1792. He was appointed commander of the "Bergere" in 1795, and fought several battles on the coast of Cayenne, Brazil, and Guadeloupe. He took command of the "Suffren" in 1805, and assisted in the capture of Dominica. In 1809 he commanded a squadron intended to carry troops and military stores to the West Indies, but, having been informed that Guadeloupe was blockaded by the English, he anchored at one of the Saintes islands, where he was discovered and blockaded by an English fleet. After some days he succeeded in forcing a passage, and, having eluded the English cruisers, gained the French coast. He was made rear-admiral in 1811, and was retired in 1816.
