Jemmapes was the lead ship of a class of two coastal defense ships built for the French Navy in the 1890s. Launched in 1892, the vessel joined the Northern Squadron of the French Navy at Brest. Armed with a main armament of two 340 mm (13.4 in) guns, the vessel was designed within the principles of the Jeune École. The ship initially joined the Northern Squadron, which was called, "the most homogenous and dangerous squadron that one could meet at sea". In 1902, the vessel was subject to underway replenishment when coal was transferred from the bunkers of other battleships during a naval exercise with the Mediterranean Squadron. Jemmapes also took part in large naval exercises in 1895 and 1900 but otherwise had an uneventful career as French naval doctrine moved from a fleet of smaller coastal defense ships to larger ocean-going battleships. The ship was decommissioned in 1910 and served as a hulk before being sold in 1927 to be broken up.
