TFA blurb review
Five Wittelsbach-class pre-dreadnought battleships were built for the Imperial German Navy in the early 1900s. SMS Wittelsbach, SMS Wettin, SMS Zähringen, SMS Schwaben, and SMS Mecklenburg were the first battleships ordered under the Second Navy Law of 1898, part of Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz's fleet expansion program. Similar in appearance to their predecessors in the Kaiser Friedrich III-class battleship, they had a more extensive armor belt. Both classes carried a battery of four 24 cm guns in two twin-gun turrets. Schwaben initially helped modernize the training unit of the German fleet; the others were occupied with training exercises and cruises abroad in I Squadron until 1910. With the outbreak of World War I in July 1914, the ships were reactivated as IV Battle Squadron and saw limited operations in the Baltic Sea against Russian forces, including the attack on Libau in May 1915 and the Battle of the Gulf of Riga in August that year.

Just a suggested blurb ... thoughts and edits are welcome. - Dank (push to talk) 23:44, 29 August 2019 (UTC) Tiny tweak. 02:26, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
