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.

But should the player have a surplus and enjoy playing this ship, they should utilize the following recommended signals. Equal Speed Charlie London (🚫), Zulu Hotel (🚫), and Dragon Flag (🚫) signals are recommended for faster commander (re)training.
