SMS Goeben, the second of the Moltke-class. A ship that spent all of two years under her original name before becoming perhaps the main catalyst of the Ottoman Empire entering World War One. At which point she became Yavuz Sultan Selim, or just Yavuz, the name she would carry for the rest of her long and eventful career.
Serving for over forty years and enduring for another twenty, she would become the longest serving dreadnought-style warship in the world. The last survivor outside of Texas. And the final ship of Imperial Germany.
Before it all ended in the scrapyard, come 1973.
