Vasilefs Georgios - 26.11.2010

"Oszczędnościowy" wariant pancernika dla Grecji - taki minidrednot z 6 działami 14-calowymi amerykańskiej proweniencji. Tak mniej więcej miał wyglądać jeden z licznych wariantów pancernika, jaki bezpośrednio przed pierwszą wojną światową  Grecy chcieli pozyskać dla swojej floty, a który ostatecznie i tak (wskutek wybuchu wojny) nie został ukończony..
