Torpedoed and sunk 19 March 1917
The Danton class were a class of French Pre-Dreadnought battleships built between 1907-1911, which served in World War I.
These ships were unusual in that they combined turbine propulsion machinery with a Pre-Dreadnought armament. They were designed by L'Homme for the 1906 programme and were a considerable advance on previous French ships. They were however overshadowed by HMS Dreadnought which was completed before they were laid down.
Danton - named after Georges Danton, built by Arsenal de Brest - laid down 1906, Launched 4 July 1909, completed 1 June 1911. Sunk by U64 19 March 1917.
