Kaiser-class
An item reported that the newest German battleships of 1910-1911 (the Ersatz Hagen and so on) were to be armed with 35,5cm guns. This meant again an increase of the calibre while there were hardly any references more that the main armament of the Helgoland-design battleships was to consist of 31cm L/45 guns.(1)
Note
1. Ersatz Hagen was the SMS Kaiserin of the Kaiser-class, laid down at the Howaldtswerke, Kiel, Germany in November 1910, launched on 11 November 1911. Commissioned on 14 May 1913, scuttled in the Gutter Sound, Scapa Flow, Orkney Island on 21 June 1919 and raised and broken up in 1936.
