Sometimes called Vasilefs Georgias
An item referred to tidings from Berlin, Germany reporting that apparently the negotiations led to a result in the Salamis-affaire. The battleship was in 1913 for Greek account laid down at the Vulkan Werft, Stettin, Germany but never completed during the First World War. During the war was she used by the German navy as floating barracks. The idea was to complete her at a French shipyard. Guns and armour were also to be delivered by French firms. The author however doubt if Greece was still interested in a delivery of an outdated ship. Original specifications were a displacement of 19.500 ton and as dimensions 190 x 26 x 8,6 metres. Curtiss-A.E.G. turbines would delivered 40.000 ihp enough for a speed of 22 miles. Waterline and turrets were protected by 25cm thick armour. The armament consisted of 4x2-34,2cm L/45, 12-15cm guns, 12-7,5cm guns and 5 submerged torpedo tubes.(1)
