SMS Pommern was a pre-dreadnought of the Kaiserliche Marine commissioned in 1905. She was destroyed spectacularly with all hands at the Battle of Jutland by a torpedo fired from HMS Onslaught.

She was the only battleship in either fleet to be sunk at the battle.

Following Commander Data's after action report, Lt. Commander Chritopher Hobson was reassigned to Starbase 3.

He continued to serve in Starfleet, as a Lieutenant Commander, in a variety of Starbase postings until his retirement in 2382.

The American pre-dreadnought USS Minnesota (BB-22), in service from 1907 to 1921.

Pre-Dreadnought HMS Irresistable sinking in the Dardanelles after being mined.

I'm reading about the Dardanelles campaign now, and the British and French assembled a fleet of 28 pre-dreadnoughts who already were slated for scrapping in an attempt to force the straits.

All battleships are beautiful, except for French pre-dreadnoughts.

Just look at HMS Canopus and her four 12" guns here. Baby could make 18 knots.

Thinking of shaking things up and really getting into World War I battleships and pre-dreadnoughts in 2026.

Thank you.

My inspiration for Bastion's role as a transport was taken from the APD conversions of old 4 pipe destroyers like the Clemson class in WW2.

The High Seas Fleet interned at Scapa Flow during the Armistice. The Germans built some lovely dreadnoughts.

The Germans would scuttle their ships when they learned they were to be turned over to the victorious allies.
