RHS Salamis – Greece's Doomed Battleship Design

Follow
Skynea History

The Greek Navy is probably not your first pick for a battleship fleet. They, after all, only ever had two of the worst predreadnoughts ever built. And an admittedly powerful armored cruiser consistently mislabeled as a battleship.

Greece did, however, want battleships. Proper ones. The most famous of which is certainly the Salamis. A German designed ship, that was unfortunately never completed. The Great War intervened and the Greeks refused to finish the ship afterward.

Still, as a hybrid between German hull and American guns, this is an interesting ship.
