She wasn't a 'true' battleship -- she was more of a coast-defense ship. Alvama, what time period does this drawing represent? (1930s, right?) |

Meh, I think 'coast-defense ships' and 'battleships' are as different as pre-dreadnoughts and dreadnoughts. But that's just my opinion. (done some research now ) Did you know that the Dutch had plans to build a class of dreadnoughts in 1913 and a class of battlecruisers in 1939, but both were interrupted by the world wars?
