  • République was a pre-dreadnought battleship of the French Navy built in the early 1900s. The lead ship of her class, she had only one sister ship: Patrie. The ship was built by the Arsenal de Brest, laid down in December 1901, launched in September 1902, and commissioned into the fleet in December 1906, the same time as the revolutionary British battleship HMS Dreadnought. Armed with a main battery of four guns, she was outclassed by Dreadnought by the time she entered service. République served in the Mediterranean Fleet for the duration of her career. In 1910 she was accidentally torpedoed by Patrie. She was moored near the battleship Liberté when the latter exploded accidentally in 1911, and was damaged by flying debris. After the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, she covered troop convoys from Algeria to France, and participated in the sinking of the Austro-Hungarian cruiser SMS Zenta later that month. She spent the majority of the war in Corfu at the mouth of the Adriatic Sea, to keep the Austro-Hungarian fleet bottled up in the Adriatic. She was eventually stricken in 1921 and broken up for scrap thereafter.
