French battleship Gaulois (1896)
- French battleship Gaulois (1896)
The "Gaulois" was a pre-dreadnought battleship of the French Navy.
In 1915, along with her sister-ship "Charlemagne", she took part in the Naval operations in the Dardanelles Campaign, under admiral Guépratte. The French squadron was leading the assault, and the "Gaulois" suffered hits from the Turkish forts. She was seriously damaged and in danger of sinking when the "Bouvet" hit a mine and exploded. The "Gaulois" managed to beach herself to avoid a complete loss.
She was refloated and brought back to service.
On 27 December 1916, as she sailed for Corfu, she was torpedoed and sunk by the U-boat "B-47".
