TFA blurb review
SMS Hannover was the second of five Deutschland-class battleship pre-dreadnoughts of the German Imperial Navy. Commissioned into the High Seas Fleet in October 1907, the ship was armed with four 28 cm guns and had a top speed of 18 kn. When World War I broke out in July 1914, she and her sister ships were immediately pressed into guard duties at the mouth of the Elbe River while the rest of the fleet mobilized. She took part in several fleet advances, culminating in the Battle of Jutland (31 May – 1 June 1916). After the battle, which exposed the weaknesses of pre-dreadnoughts, she and her three surviving sisters were removed from active duty with the fleet. Hannover served as a guard ship for the remainder of the war, first in the Elbe and, starting in 1917, in the Danish straits. She served in the post-war German navy from 1921 to 1931, with overseas cruises to Spain and the Mediterranean Sea.
