RHS Salamis - Greece's Doomed Battleship Design

[@fabianzimmermann5495]

I'd love a video on the Greek-Ottoman naval arms race. It would be interesting to think about if the Salamis had been completed and been around for the Second World War. Of course it would really depend on the shape she was in at that point (looking at Averof, probably not the best) and if she had seen some kind of modernisation. Her final design had the speed slightly increased to 23 knots, so if she was in good shape, she would have been not that much slower than the modernised QE's, so potentially could have operated along side them. Alternatively she could have been a heavy convoy escort and bombardement vessel.

How about the doomed Dutch 1912 battleship program?

waiting till the day that Wargaming adds Salamis to World of Warships. I think she'd be a pretty decent tier-6 BB. German armor scheme with American guns. I'd play that ship.

Salamis: the 480 BC battle that was decisive, important, and instructive.

[@HighlanderNorth1]

✔️Right..... When naming a historically monumental battle, it's common for the victors to name it after something equally monumental. That's why the ancient Greeks named that 480 BC battle after ^this battleship..... 😉👍

Hey Skynea, I am wondering if you can do a theory of the wreck of the IJN Heavy cruiser Nachi, because I am planning on making her wreck, and she wasn't broken up for salvage, she was simple to walk in with a diving suit, because she was dove having code books, documents, and minor equipment salvaged.

Amazing job and keep them coming your doing an amazing job I like history especially naval history

Great video as always, I wonder if they would have gone with an American battleship it would have been completed and delivered in the end but they wanted a very specific design and I would imagine the American ship builders would have wanted to provide an off the shelf design and yet the Greeks changed their design multiple times but who knows.. The Greeks in modern times also had a bit of a scandal around an order of Submarines from Germany

[@genericpersonx333]

US Shipyards were quite open to custom orders and actually built quite a lot of tonnage that had relatively little overlap with the US Navy's design requirements. As long as the Greeks were willing to pay for the necessary custom parts, US shipyards would not have balked at custom parts. Money was always the main problem. The pertinent US Shipyards who would make battleships for foreigners were private companies who took all the risks if the customer failed to pay, so they would not build anything unless the customers had good credit backing them, which the Greeks didn't have in 1912-1915. Even if the Greeks had managed to sweet-talk a US shipyard into building the ship and having it complete by 1915, odds are against the Greeks actually ever getting the ship without someone else helping pay for it because 1915 was a really bad year for the Greek economy to put it politely. This suggests the probable outcome is the Royal Navy or the US Navy ends up taking the ship into their service instead, and since Greece would not solve its economic problems until well after the Washington Naval Treaty came into effect, I don't see the ship making it to Greece before it is scrapped.

The Greeks made a Salamis before the Earth Federation Did

For a minute I thought of the Mississippi class pre-dreadnought that they bought from the US.

Are there any plans to cover the other Greek battleship that was doomed, the unknown 4th Bretagne-class member, RHS Vasilefs Konstantinos?

[@HighlanderNorth1]

💥Wasn't that the same battleship that sank the Musashi, Yamato, Nagato, Scharnhorst, and Bismarck all on the same day? Yeah, I thought so... 😉
