Germany Battleship
In 1915, it became clear that the war was far from over, and it was necessary to speed up the construction of new ships. Kaiser Wilhelm insisted that the new ships be equipped with 380 mm guns and combine the speed of a battlecruiser with the armor of a battleship. The lead ship was laid down as Ersatz Yorck in 1916, but the end of the war shifted strategic priorities, and all forces were thrown into the construction and repair of submarines. The ship was dismantled on the stocks after the end of the war.
