Description (Fictional ship!!!) Holstein battleship created in 1907. The ship was created as a design (and competition winner) for a leading ship of the line and a response to the dreadnought designs of the Imperial Britannia Navy. Based on the experience of its predecessor - the battleship Konig Wilhelm, modified guns arranged in superposition were used, increasing its broadside. To increase speed, the classic inverted beak was removed and a curved beak was used to increase its speed and maneuverability. Modern communication devices were also added and the ship was the first to receive an early warning radar. The ship entered service in the first year of the war against the Romanov Empire. The ship was first used during the Battle of St. Petersburg Bay, helping to sink the dreadnought Emperor Paul I and sinking 4 torpedo boats using secondary artillery. In 1914, with the support of two armored cruisers, he took part in a skirmish with the Romanov naval strike group, sending all the ships (4 light cruisers and 3 torpedo boats) to the bottom. In 1915, during the invasion of the Gulf of Riga, he helped neutralize the coastal defense artillery, which contributed to the successful breakthrough of the defense and, as a result, the victory of the Holstein Navy. In 1916, after and the proclamation of a democratic republic, he supported the forces in Eastern Pomerania against the Soviet Republic. During these battles, he sank the battlecruiser Sinop and the dreadnought Poltava. In 1917, the act of surrender of the Romanov Empire, which was then fighting against the forces of the Soviet Republic, was signed on board. In 1919, he took part in joint maneuvers with the Nippon-koku navy. In 1921, the ship was awarded the Order of the Holstein Legion for services during the war. The ship was withdrawn in 1925 and renamed a museum ship. Armed with 4 twin 305mm guns, 8 twin 210mm guns, 12 single 150mm guns and 15 single 88mm guns. It had two sister ships: Brandenburg and Holstein.
