Salamis
Ordered for the Greek Navy from the AG Vulcan shipyard in Hamburg, Germany, in 1912, Salamis was a battleship, which was to be part of a Greek naval rearmament program meant to modernize the fleet. Laid down in 1913, she was launched in November 1914. The outbreak of World War One halted construction in 1914 and the ship was never finished. She was scrapped in 1932.
