Class name?

The only source that I've come across that refers to the class by name is Conway's, which calls them the Courbet class. Are there references that actually support the current name? Or is this just someone's assumption based on normal European naming practices? Parsecboy (talk) 13:25, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As it turns out, Roberts' French Warships in the Age of Steam 1859–1914 refers to them under the current title. Parsecboy (talk) 15:38, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
