Descripción
As World War I loomed ever closer, the German Imperial Navy continued their ambitious and extensive policy of naval manurfacture. Following on from the Deutschland, Nassau and Helgoland classes, Germany commissioned a further three classes of battleship, each one better-armed, more heavily-armoured and mose powerful than the last. The ships of the Kaiser, Koning and Bayern classes that were commissioned between 1909 and 1914 continued the arms race that had started with the introduction of the Royal Navy’s HMS Dreadnought, and represented the pinnacle of German Naval development.
