Post rebuild:
All the armament from this Konigin Regentes battleship is removed (and scraped), most of the interior is ripped out and about 20cm of reinforced concrete to poured on the deck the strengthen it. The conning tower is also getting reinforced with large amounts of armed concrete. The internal subdivisions is increased, and more pumps added. The ship is lacking all long term accommodations for the crew, and all crew positions are below the armoured deck and behind the belts.

#5
The first class of Dreadnaughts built for the Koninklijke Marine.
Considered to be very promising, expected to join the navy in the beginning of 1910.

The deckmounted 88mm guns are capable of 85 degrees elevation to be able to drive off enemy baloons close the the ship.
