By 1911 PD, Tourville was widely considered one of the People's Navy's greatest leaders. As a Rear Admiral, he commanded the victorious Havenite task group in the Second Battle of Adler, his flagship at the time being PNS Count Tilly. He thoroughly disagreed with Cordelia Ransom's plan to execute Honor Harrington after her capture. When he expressed his disagreement, he and his staff were ordered to accompany PNS Tepes to Hades aboard Count Tilly. When Tepes was destroyed by Horace Harkness' sabotage, Admiral Tourville and Shannon Foraker were the only Havenites who noticed small ships escaped before the ship blew up, and erased the tapes.
