Wierd ship sighting!

rsslcs · 03-06-10, 12:43 PM

I saw this ship whilst sailing to Kiel (1st mission) from Poland. It looks like an old ww1 dreadnought similar to the nassau class and after, but as far as Google told me, they were all scrapped in the 20's. So my question is, What is it doing sailing past me, and maybe it's a class of warship that I missed and that wasn't captured/scuttled after WW1?

And if this ship was built in WW2 which I doubt, why did they use an outdated design?

It was sailing at 17 knots btw.

Thanks to anyone who answers!

EDIT: Sorry for the terrible first shot, I'm making another.

HAHAHAAAAA!! A Deutschland class. Stupid, stupid me. Disregard. /thread. You can tell that I'm a noob eh?

Ever heard about the "Schleswig-Holstein"? Pre-dreadnaught battleship from 1906, still in service in 1939 and firing the first shots of WWII in the Danzig Harbour....

To avoid creating another thread, what's the command to get the crew off deck? I currently can't dive..

All you have to do is go in the conning tower or into the sub itself, then you can dive.
