    The Nassau class battleships were four dreadnought battleships built by the Imperial German Navy in response to the Royal Navy's commissioning of the HMS Dreadnought. All four ships - Nassau, Rheinland, Posen and Westfalen - were laid down in 1907 and completed between 1910. Compared to British ships, the Nassau class had a larger beam but were lighter and slower, using less powerful engines and smaller main guns.

    battleship Dreadnought. The class included Nassau, Rheinland, Posen and Westfalen; All four ships were
    laid down in mid-1907 and completed between May and September 1910. Compared to contemporary
    British battleships, the Nassau-class ships were lighter and had a larger beam. However, they were two

    carried smaller main guns, 11 inches (280 mm) instead of the 12 inches (305 mm) fitted on British ships.
