Talk:Kaiser-class battleship

Comments
You say that all five were interned in the lead, but that only four were scuttled. What happened to the fifth? Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:22, 21 May 2009 (UTC)


 * That was a screw-up on my part; all 5 were scuttled and sunk (the times are given in the body). Thanks for catching that. Parsecboy (talk) 00:28, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Shell weights for 30.5 cm guns
The quoted shell weight of 666 pounds is totally wrong. Try 894 pounds. http://navalhistory.flixco.info/H/95736x53535/8330/a0.htm  http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNGER_12-50_skc12.htmRcbutcher (talk) 15:49, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I've corrected the article. MV looks suspect too. Rcbutcher (talk) 15:55, 12 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Ahh, that was apparently a screw up reading the table in Conway's. The 666lb figure, along with the muzzle velocity, are actually for the 28cm guns on the Nassau class/Von der Tann. I've updated the muzzle velocity accordingly. Thanks for catching that. Parsecboy (talk) 16:08, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Photo
The picture from the Kiel week is not a Kaiser class ship, that can be clearly seen from the superstructure. If you click on the picture it says it is the "Rheinland" which seems reasonable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tarhunnas (talk • contribs)


 * No, that is not correct. The photo is the battleship Kaiser - see the discussion here for starters. Also, compare the photo to this photo of Kaiser, and this actual photo of Rheinland; you should be able to see quite clearly the different superstructure on Rheinland. Lastly, compare the bow crest to this photo of Kaiser, you can see that it is identical; Rheinlands crest is similar but not the same (note for instance Kaisers crest is upright, while Rheinland's is canted to one side).
