she was an battleship....but she was last of an line of coastal defence ships
(done some research now
)
Meh, I think 'coast-defense ships' and 'battleships' are as different as pre-dreadnoughts and dreadnoughts. But that's just my opinion.
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?
The plans were ready to build ships in 1913, but when final German and Great Britain inclused USA got in war, the plans were cancelled, German has a need for steel for is own. Britain aswell. In 1939 exactly the same, but also the German invade operations.
She got two funnels when here life started indeed!
I'll draw the De Ruyer aswell.
Thanks for the link, funny, they have some articles from my dad
