Liberté-class battleship
The ''Liberté'' class was a group of four pre-dreadnought battleships of the French Navy. The class comprised ''Liberté'', the lead ship, ''Justice'', ''Vérité'', and ''Démocratie''. The ships were in most respects repeats of the previous , and the major difference was the adoption of guns for the secondary battery, rather than the guns of the ''République'' class. Due to their similarity, the two classes are sometimes treated as one basic design. The four ''Liberté''-class ships were built between 1903 and 1908; they were completed over a year after the revolutionary British , which rendered the French ships obsolete before they entered service.
In September 1909, three of the ships, ''Liberté'', ''Justice'', and ''Vérité'' visited the United States for the Hudson-Fulton Celebration. Two years later, ''Liberté''s forward magazines exploded in Toulon harbor, destroying the ship and killing approximately 250 of her crew. The three surviving ships saw action early in World War I at the Battle of Antivari, and spent the remainder blockading the Austro-Hungarian Navy in the Adriatic and were later stationed at Mudros in the Aegean. They were stricken from the naval register in 1921–1922 and broken up for scrap. ''Liberté'' was left on the bottom of Toulon harbor until 1925, when she was raised and broken up for scrap.
==Design==
The Fleet Law of 1900 authorized the French Navy to build six new battleships, along with a host of other warship types; the law signaled an end to the ''Jeune École'' doctrine that emphasized commerce raiding and torpedo boats instead of a battle fleet of capital ships.〔Ropp, p. 329〕 The first two battleships ordered, the , formed the design basis for the subsequent four of the ''Liberté'' class.〔Gardiner, p. 297〕 The naval engineer Émile Bertin designed both the ''République'' and ''Liberté'' classes.〔Ropp, p. 358〕
