French Battleship Mirabeau

French Battleship Mirabeau

Mirabeau was a French semi-dreadnought battleship of the Danton-class. Launched on 28 October 1909, she was commissioned into the Marine Nationale on 1 August 1911.

During the First World War, she helped blockade the Straits of Otranto and the Dardanelles to prevent German, Austro-Hungarian and Turkish warships from breaking out into the Mediterranean.

Post-war, Mirabeau was deployed to the Black Sea as part of the Allied intervention in the Russian Revolution. In February 1919 she ran aground and could not be refloated until some of her guns, armour and boilers were removed. After returning to France, she was stricken from the navy list and broken up for scrap in 1922.
