Thanks for the video. Although the Königs were not the fastest or most powerful battleships in the First World War, for me they still have the most attractive and beautiful proportions. Ok, some of the battlecruisers are much nicer but they are a different class of ship.
You're pretty bright kid !God knows I would have would have liked to work at the museum holding the remains of the monitor probably one of my favorite ships too!
Thanks for an interesting video. I am quite familiar with the development of U.S. battleships. I have Norman Friedman's book. I have some knowledge of the development of foreign battleships, but your video gave me much more detailed knowledge.
Or they could have just taken the turrets from 2 hexagon layout ships and used them to arm 3 new centerline hulls thus remaining within budget and deleting obsolescence whilst recovering half a years wasted effort.. if any armour etc could be reused then this could be even more desirable...
Sorry, I'm one of those useless Yanks who do not really get the meter/yard issue and it would be a big help if you said (67cm or 3.5feet). Otherwise I need to get my little but helpful chart. Make fun of me but you are in a business and the more people you attract the better the take. So, the video was really interesting. Keep up the good work.

Absolutely my favorite class of battleship and next to tiger in terms of function and looks
It is always fascinating to imagine where the development of battleships would have led, for example the German L-20e project

Solid and very informative video. Many thanks!
Great a gain, I hope you are enjoying the new year.
Take care, and all the best.
Thank you. My new year is going well. How about yours?
Take care as well.

I never really realized how quickly Germany was designing and building their capital ships.

Did they consider centerline guns for Kaiser class?
Yes, it was rejected based on cost.

FYI...
67cm = 2.2ft - AND - 1.065m = 3.5ft
A simple rule of thumb conversion is that every 30cm (0.3m) = 1ft
