Mały predrednot dla Grecji - 17.08.2010

Predrednot dla Grecji. Nie imponujący rozmiarami i potencjałem w zestawieniu z okrętami największych potęg morskich, ale na ówczesne pancerniki tureckie (najsilniejszy, kazmatowy Mesudiye miał zaledwie 10-calówki) powinien wystarczyć. Biorąc pod uwagę możliwości ówczesnej metalurgii (to jeszcze nie epoka pancerzy Harveya i Kruppa!) nacisk położyłem na grubość opancerzenia, kosztem jego powierzchni. W rezultacie tego, program obliczył sytosunkowo niską odporność na trafienia - zaledwie rzędu 6 pocisków kal. 305 mm. W rzeczywistości z pewnością nie było by aż tak słabo..
