"Brandenburg" - German battleship

SMS "Brandenburg" - the main "pre-dreadnought" type battleship of the "Brandenburg" class. This class includes "Kurfürst Friedrich Wilhelm", "Weissenburg" and "Wörth", built for the German Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial Navy) in the early 1990s. She was the first per-dreadnought ship for the German Navy; previously, the German navy built only coastal defense ships and armored frigates. The ship's keel was laid in the "AG Vulcan" shipyard in 1890, launched in 1891 September 21, began service on November 19, 1893. "Brandenburg" and her three sister-ships were unique for their time in that, they mounted six heavy cannons, instead of the four, that had been standard on earlier German ships. It was named after the province of Brandenburg. "Brandenburg" served in Division I throughout the first decade of her naval service. This period was largely confined to exercises and goodwill visits to foreign ports. However, these training maneuvers were crucial to the development of German naval tactical doctrine in the two decades, leading up to World War I, especially under Alfred von Tirpitz. The ship first participated in a major deployment in 1900, when she and three of her sister-ships were sent to China to quell the Boxer Rebellion. In the early 1900s, all four ships were seriously rebuilt. By the start of World War I, the battleship was obsolete and saw only limited action, initially as a coastal defense vessel. In 1915 battleship was withdrawn from active service in December and converted to a barracks ship. "Brandenburg" was scrapped in Danzig after the war in 1920.
