Kaiser — Germany · Tier IV · Battleship

The new Kaiser class marked a big leap forward compared with her predecessors: She incorporated steam turbines and a more practical arrangement for her main gun turrets. In particular, Kaiser featured two rear superfiring turrets and two side turrets placed in a diagonal pattern, resulting in one less turret compared to previous designs. SMS Kaiser was launched on March 22, 1911—the birthday of Kaiser Wilhelm. During the Battle of Jutland, Kaiser sank destroyer HMS Nomad and cruiser HMS Defence, and she also heavily damaged battleship Warspite.
