Helgoland-class Dreadnought Battleship

The Helgoland class was Germany’s second class of dreadnought battleships. Its heavier main guns and characteristic arrangement of turrets and funnels distinguished it from the preceding Nassau class. The ships served in the High Seas Fleet during the First World War, including major fleet operations. Their history belongs to the Anglo-German dreadnought competition and North Sea strategy, rather than to the later battleships of the Kriegsmarine built under completely different interwar political and technological circumstances.

These ships retained reciprocating machinery and a distinctive arrangement of main-gun turrets. They represented Germany’s second dreadnought group and served in the High Seas Fleet during the North Sea confrontation with the Royal Navy.
