Jean Bart (1911) was the second of four Courbet-class battleships, the first dreadnoughts built for the French Navy. She spent World War I in the Mediterranean and helped to sink the Austro-Hungarian protected cruiser Zenta in August 1914. She was torpedoed by an Austro-Hungarian submarine in December; after repairs, she spent the rest of the war providing cover for the Otranto Barrage that blockaded the Austro-Hungarian Navy in the Adriatic Sea and sometimes served as a flagship. After the war she and her sister ship France participated in the occupation of Constantinople and were then sent to the Black Sea in 1919 to support Allied troops in the Southern Russia Intervention. She was partially modernised twice during the 1920s, became a training ship in 1934, and was disarmed and hulked as an accommodation ship in 1935–1936 in Toulon. The Germans captured her intact when they occupied Toulon in 1942, but she was sunk by Allied bombing in 1944. (Full article...)
