Former British warship HMS Excellent towed to Bolnes, Netherlands according to the Dutch newspaper Nieuwe Schiedamsche Courant dated 13 April 1892

An item dated Schiedam, Netherlands 12^th reported the passing in the afternoon of the 11th of the condemned British warship Excellent underway towards Bolnes, Netherlands where she was to be broken up by the firm Bas&Zoon. The Dutch tug Zuidholland of L. Smit&Co. towed her in 50 hours van Plymouth, England towards the Nieuwe Waterweg, Netherlands. From there was she towed by three tugs to her final destination. It was not possible to tow her direct to Rotterdam, Netherlands because of her huge draught. So it was necessary to wait a few days for a more favourable tide. The edition of the 15th reported however that she was grounded at the Kralingse Veer and refloated in the evening of the 14th by the tugs Rotterdam, Schiedam and Delfshaven and now berthed at Bolnes.(1)

Capital ships were under this new treaty limited to a maximum of 35.562 tons and 35,6cm/14” guns. The escalator clause supplied the possibility to use 16” guns and larger battleships if Japan or Italy still had not signed after 1 April 1937. The USA built first the battleships of the North Carolina-class consisting of the North Carolina and Washington, with a displacement of 35.000 tons and commissioned in 1941 and the South Dakota-class consisting of the South Dakota, Indiana, Massachusetts and Alabama, with a displacement of 38.000 tons and commissioned in 1942.
