French Battleship Vergniaud
Vergniaud was a French semi-dreadnought battleship of the Danton-class. Launched on 12 April 1910, she was commissioned into the Marine Nationale on 18 December 1911.
On 16 August 1914, Voltaire participated in the Battle of Antivari along with a large Fleet of British and French ships. She participated in the sinking of the Austro-Hungarian protected cruiser Zenta.
For the remainder of 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, Vergniaud was laid up in reserve, but found to be in poor condition. Stripped of armament, she was used as a target ship. She was listed for disposal in 1927 and sold for scrap in 1928.
