== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a premium rank {{Specs|rank}} French battleship {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Air Superiority"]].

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Armour}}

''Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armaments separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips on preserving survivability for the "Usage in battles" section. If necessary, use a graphical template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.''

=== Mobility ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Mobility}}

''Write about the ship's mobility. Evaluate its power and manoeuvrability, rudder rerouting speed, stopping speed at full tilt, with its maximum forward and reverse speed.''

{{NavalMobility}}

=== Modifications and economy ===
{{Specs-Economy}}

== Armament ==
{{Specs-Fleet-Armaments}}
=== Primary armament ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Primary}}

{{main|305 mm/45 model 1906-10 (305 mm)}}
''Provide information about the characteristics of the primary armament. Evaluate their efficacy in battle based on their reload speed, ballistics and the capacity of their shells. Add a link to the main article about the weapon: <code><nowiki>{{main|Weapon name (calibre)}}</nowiki></code>. Broadly describe the ammunition available for the primary armament, and provide recommendations on how to use it and which ammunition to choose.''

{{:305 mm/45 model 1906-10 (305 mm)/Ammunition|305 mm OEA Mle 1927 HE, 305 mm OPF Mle 1910 APC}}

=== Secondary armament ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Secondary}}

{{main|138.6 mm/55 model 1910 (138.6 mm)}}
''Some ships are fitted with weapons of various calibres. Secondary armaments are defined as weapons chosen with the control <code>Select secondary weapon</code>. Evaluate the secondary armaments and give advice on how to use them. Describe the ammunition available for the secondary armament. Provide recommendations on how to use them and which ammunition to choose. Remember that any anti-air armament, even heavy calibre weapons, belong in the next section. If there is no secondary armament, remove this section.''

{{:138.6 mm/55 model 1910 (138.6 mm)/Ammunition|138.6 mm OEA Mle 1919 HE, 138.6 mm OPF Mle 1910 SAP, 138.6 mm OPF Mle 1921 SAPBC}}

=== Anti-aircraft armament ===
{{Specs-Fleet-AA}}

{{main|3 pdr QF Hotchkiss (47 mm)}}
''An important part of the ship's armament responsible for air defence. Anti-aircraft armament is defined by the weapon chosen with the control <code>Select anti-aircraft weapons</code>. Talk about the ship's anti-air cannons and machine guns, the number of guns and their positions, their effective range, and about their overall effectiveness – including against surface targets. If there are no anti-aircraft armaments, remove this section.''

=== Additional armament ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Additional}}

{{main|1909R (450 mm)}}
''Describe the available additional armaments of the ship: depth charges, mines, torpedoes. Talk about their positions, available ammunition and launch features such as dead zones of torpedoes. If there is no additional armament, remove this section.''

== Usage in battles ==

''Describe the technique of using this ship, the characteristics of her use in a team and tips on strategy. Abstain from writing an entire guide – don't try to provide a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought. Talk about the most dangerous opponents for this vehicle and provide recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of playing with this vehicle in various modes (AB, RB, SB).''

=== Pros and cons ===

''Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".''

'''Cons:'''

== History ==

''Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ship in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the ship and adding a block "/History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Ship-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>. This section may also include the ship's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under <code><nowiki>=== In-game description ===</nowiki></code>, also if applicable).''

== Media ==

''Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.''

-The lead ship of [[Courbet (Family)|her class]], '''Courbet''' was the first dreadnought built for the French Navy, launched in September 1911, but commissioned only 8 months before the beginning of the World War One. She was a flagship during the Battle of Antivari, where she participated in a sinking of the Austrian protected cruiser SMS Zenta. During the rest of the war, she prevented the Austro-Hungarian fleet from attempting to break out of the Adriatic. During the interwar years she served as a gunnery training ship and underwent multiple modernisations, which included changes to the main battery turrets, machinery, fire control, and more. Though, due to the time in dock and service as a training ship, she rarely left port. After the German invasion of France, she was mobilised to defend French ports in the coast of La Manche and to participate in the Operation Aerial. Soon after, she sailed to Portsmouth in England and joined the Free French Navy as an anti-aircraft battery and later accommodation ship. Later, she was reassigned as a target ship, in order to test the secret bombs which were later used in the Dambuster Raid. After the Normandy landings, she was pulled by tugboats to be used as a part of the breakwater for the improvised harbour off Sword Beach. In that role, she was attacked by a secret German manned torpedoes, Negers, becoming the first vessel to suffer damage from secret weapons of both: allies and axis. After the war, her scrapping took until 1970.

Due to the time in dock and service as a training ship, she rarely left port. After the German invasion of France, she was mobilised to defend French ports along the coast of La Manche and to participate in Operation Aerial. Soon after, she sailed to Portsmouth in England and joined the Free French Navy as an anti-aircraft battery and later accommodation ship.

-The Courbet was introduced in [[Update "Air Superiority"]]. Compared to the direct counterparts, she has a better damage output in exchange for a somewhat worse armour protection. Her biggest highlight is the damage output of the AP shells, if those shells manage to penetrate the target, which is something they might struggle with, especially against the vessels in a higher BRs. She's best used in a typical role for a World War One-origin battleships: pushing the capture points and fighting with her direct counterparts.
