 The four aft 75-millimeter gun positions were very prone to flooding in anything other than calm weather and were removed from the "Danton"s in 1915–1917; their embrasures were plated over to stop the flooding.The four 47-millimeter guns on the aft superstructure were transferred to other ships at some point during the war.Those on the forward superstructure received high-angle mounts and were repositioned to better serve as anti-aircraft guns.
