Konig-class Dreadnought Battleship

Germany’s König-class dreadnoughts advanced the Imperial Navy’s battleship line through an improved centerline arrangement of 30.5cm main guns. They formed an important part of the High Seas Fleet during the First World War and fought at Jutland. The class combined heavy protection with the tactical expectations of North Sea battlefleet operations. After the war, the ships were interned at Scapa Flow and scuttled with much of the German fleet in 1919. A centerline arrangement of five twin 30.5cm turrets supplied a powerful, balanced broadside. The class served with the High Seas Fleet and participated in Jutland. Postwar internment and the scuttling at Scapa Flow gave the surviving ships a final history very different from a conventional combat sinking or peacetime scrapping.
