Yes it is; fortunately the RN, in WW1, didn't get to find out!! Although, sadly, the graceful HOOD did in the next war. :( DFO

The incomplete 3rd unit, SACHSEN, is shown alongside a incomplete battle cruiser in Hamburg post-war being scrapped.

Yes..... had they been in a position to come out in force and been lead by a tactician rather than a madman things could have been very different for us ............but luck was on our side on this occasion but at a cost no body could dream of , and we as a nation lost most of what we had pre war , with no hope of reinstating ..

Thanks Mate , great photo again , not seen that before .

I know I am opening a can of worms here but I have never been able to understand the mentality of ordering the German High seas fleet to a location and then being surprised at them scuttling the fleet in our anchorage .

Was it to humiliate them and to expect no reprisals :o
gather up all the ships for reuse elsewhere once remanned :?:

It has always struck me as crass stupidity and reckless use of materials in the hands of our foes ....Crazy .
