The additional 2,800 hit points offered by Hull (B) are not a bad thing, but represent less than one full shell penetration from enemy battleship AP at this tier, and will not make or break a game; neither will the handful of extra AA guns she receives against Tier IV and V aircraft. | ||

? | ''Courbet'' was the lead ship of her class, the first dreadnoughts built for the French Navy. She was completed before World War I and named in honour of Admiral Amédée Courbet. She spent the war in the Mediterranean, helping to sink the Austro-Hungarian protected cruiser ''Zenta'' in August 1914. She spent the rest of the war providing cover for the Otranto Barrage that blockaded the Austro-Hungarian Navy in the Adriatic Sea. Although upgraded several times before World War II, she was not deemed to be a first-class battleship and spent most of the interwar period as a gunnery training ship. | + | ''Courbet'' was the lead ship of her class, the first dreadnoughts built for the French Navy.

Upon the German invasion of [[France]], beginning on 10 May 1940, ''Courbet'' was hastily rearmed. She supported Allied troops in the defense of Cherbourg during June, later that month taking refuge in England. As part of Operation Catapult, she was seized in Portsmouth by British forces on 3 July and was turned over to the Free French a week later. She was used as a patrol vessel depot ship and an anti-aircraft ship there until 31 March 1941 when she was disarmed and hulked. Her engines and boilers were removed in 1944 to prepare her for use as a breakwater during the Normandy landings in June 1944. She was scrapped where she lay after the war. | Upon the German invasion of [[France]], beginning on 10 May 1940, ''Courbet'' was hastily rearmed.

Courbet — French Tier IV battleship.
The new design of the battleship took into account the wishes of the leadership regarding the concentration of armament at the ship's aft and forward ends. The ship carried twelve 305 mm guns housed in twin-gun turrets: Two superfiring turrets were located at the ship's aft and forward ends, and two more turrets were placed on each side of the ship. All four battleships in her class were active in the Mediterranean theater of World War I.
