Rating D (Bottom tier within its tier and class · overall score 4) · Fast battleship
Fast battleship, suited to AA escort, flanking. It is weak against cruisers (AP deals a same-tier cruiser's HP in about 4 min on paper). Top speed of 30.9 kn is 1.3 kn above average, with good turning. Detectability of 9.66 km is 1.98 km below average, so it is less likely to be spotted first. Key skills: Engine Accelerator II ×2 (top speed +12%, 25 s); Air Defense Alert II ×3. Its firepower trails other battleships, so be selective and punish broadsides.

A fast battleship with a similar layout to World War I-era German battlecruiser designs. Had history taken a different course, she might have been laid down in Germany by 1918, bought by Sweden in the 1920s, and gradually completed by the end of the 1930s. The battleship's artillery armament is supplemented by four quintuple-tube torpedo launchers.
