The French cruiser Condé was one of five Gloire-class armored cruisers built for the French Navy (Marine Nationale) in the early 1900s. Fitted with a mixed armament of 194-millimeter (7.6 in) and 164.7-millimeter (6.5 in) guns, the ships were designed for service with the fleet. Completed in 1904, Condé joined her sister ships in the Northern Squadron (Escadre du Nord). She was transferred to the Mediterranean Squadron (Escadre de la Méditerranée) two years later, but rejoined the 2nd Light Squadron (2e Escadre légère), as the units based in northwestern France had been renamed, in 1912, together with two of her sisters. Condé was transferred to the Atlantic Division (Division de l'Atlantique) in early 1914 and protected French interests and citizens during the Mexican Revolution.
