RHNS Salamis | The battleship that never was

[@kapasvonkapas]

The most comprehensive video about Salamis! There are models of both versions of her in Piraeus naval museum. Your 3d renders are magnificent as well, you could even contact the museum, I am sure they would be interested!

[@TheShipYard2]

Thank you for your kind words :) I actually used there model to build my 3D model. I’ll drop them an email and see

Excellent video. F.Y.I Battlecruiser G.Averoff still exists and is a museum ship. You can visit it in Faliron, Pireus port.

[@TheShipYard2]

Indeed she is, and when i am able to go to Greece, she is on the top of my list of things to see. I would however class Averof as a Armored cruiser

[@AntonisHL]

Yes, Averoff is Armored Cruiser. The last remaining ship of her type.

[@haroldchase4120]

That’s nice . Now I’d love to see a 30s rebuild and refitted version if she had been around for WW2

[@TheShipYard2]

It would be cool However, idk what the refit would look like. There is a version that has a German superstructure, but that’s a strange design. Maybe at some point I could do it, but I wouldn’t hold you hopes on it.

[@grahamstrouse1165]

@@TheShipYard2I’m surprised there isn’t a WoWS version…

[@spiros471]

Pity that she was never completed. She would have been the pride of the Hellenic royal navy and the fear for everyone who opposed it. Nice video with interesting details unknown to most

[@jacobmoss6830]

Excellent, been looking forward to this,

[@Emancipation_Specialist]

very well done videos man

[@spencerderosier6649]

Great content

[@level98bearhuntingarmor]

A whole video on Salamis, cool

[@tks264]

Successor of probably one of the most successful war ships ever (armored cruiser Averof), not in terms of battles necessarily won (2) but of area won

[@joseluissalguero6478]

😮😮😮😮 era un crucero de batalla que estaba en construcción en alemania por encargo de grecia con 8 cañones de 356/45mm de fabricacion norteamericana el inicio de la primera guerra mundial frustró su finalizacion

[@heyfitzpablum]

A lesson for Greece, they can never rely on Western nations to supply critical weapons-not then and not now. It's good that Greece acquired the ARMORED CRUISER HNS Averoff from Italy to help offset the Ottoman Navy. She provided all the offset needed!

[@WildBillCox13]

Most interesting.

[@jacobdill4499]

It would have been interesting if the Germans had gotten an exception that would have been alloyed them to finish this ship after the war or if Greece could have replaced it with an existing Imperial German or Austria Hungarian ship of equivalentish capabilities.

[@DaiElsan]

Those turrets didn't look like they had much in the way of elevation.

[@TheShipYard2]

+15 degrees elevation -5 degrees depression

[@aidan11162]

Most WW1 BBs did not have much in the way of elevation as they didn’t think that battles would occur at long ranges
