The Carnot displaced 12,000 tonnes, was 114 metres (374 ft) long, had a beam of 21 metres (69 ft) and a draught of 8.4 metres (28 ft) . Her complement was 647 men. She was similar to the Charles Martel, besides the hull shape, lower bridge and the absence of a flying deck.
She served in the Northern squadron of the French Navy until 1901, when she was transferred to the Mediterranean squadron. In the early 1900's, she went into a modernization during which four 47/40 Hotchkiss guns were added to her, and the two torpedo tubes were removed. In 1913, she was put in the reserve, and used as a barracks hulk from 1914. She was then scrapped somewhere around 1922.
