SMS Württemberg 1917

SMS Württemberg 1917

SMS Württemberg was the fourth and final member of the Bayern-class battleships ordered but never finished for the German Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial Navy) in the 1910s. She was laid down in January 1915 at the Germaniawerft shipyard, but as resources were diverted to more pressing projects, including U-boat construction, work on the ship slowed; she was launched in June 1917, but only to clear the slipway for other work. By the time construction stopped, she was about twelve months from completion. The Treaty of Versailles that ended the war in June 1919 specified that all warships under construction in Germany were to be destroyed, and Württemberg was accordingly sold for scrap in 1921 and dismantled the following year.
