Battlecruisers: Moltke Class
Posted: Sun Sep 30, 2018 7:53 pm
Here is MOLTKE's sister: GOEBEN, arguably the most influential warship ever built given her role in the Med....dragging Turkey into WW1. That had ramifications upon history that no other warship ever caused.
Also, 2 pics of her as Turkish YAVUZ. She survived until early 70s when she was unfortunately scrapped to become Italian razor blades... I have a Turkish book about her, kindly given to me by a Polish merchant marine officer (old Forum).....many, many pics. Some late closeups showed cracked paint that looked over a inch thick. DFO
