French cruiser Edgar Quinet
''Edgar Quinet'' was an armored cruiser of the French Navy, the lead ship of her class. She and her sister ship, , were the last class of armored cruiser to be built by the French Navy. ''Edgar Quinet'' was laid down in November 1905, launched in September 1907, and completed in January 1911. Armed with a main battery of fourteen guns, she was more powerful than most other armored cruisers, but she had entered service more than two years after the first battlecruiser——had rendered armored cruisers obsolescent.
At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, ''Edgar Quinet'' participated in the hunt for the German battlecruiser and then joined the blockade of the Austro-Hungarian Navy in the Adriatic. She took part in the Battle of Antivari later in August, and the seizure of Corfu in January 1916, but saw no further action during the war. In 1922, she evacuated over a thousand civilians from Smyrna during the climax of the Greco-Turkish War. Converted into a training ship in the mid-1920s, ''Edgar Quinet'' ran aground on a rock off the Algerian coast on 4 January 1930 and sank five days later.

''Edgar Quinet'' was armed with a main battery of fourteen 50-caliber M1902 guns; four were in twin gun turrets forward and aft, with three single gun turrets on either broadside. The last four guns were mounted in casemates abreast the main and aft conning towers. Close-range defense against torpedo boats was provided by a battery of twenty 9-pounder guns in casemates in the ship's hull. She was also equipped with two torpedo tubes submerged in the hull. She was protected with a armored belt that was thick amidships. The gun turrets had thick plating, while the casemates had marginally thinner protection, at 194 mm. The main conning tower had 200 mm thick sides.〔〔
