I think you Ganguts should stand tall and proud. The class carried what was probably the finest 12in gun of World War I, and while we can remember the Lovecraftian superstructures added by the Soviets, we should also remember that these ships began with extremely simple and elegant lines. The armor scheme sucked, though. Prinz Eugen and the other Tegetthoffs also carried an excellent 12in gun, but the mounts were awful. With their gappy armor scheme, their extreme topweight, their underwater vulnerability, their lack of speed, and (in Istvan's case) the shoddy workmanship, these rate as perhaps the worst WWI dreadnoughts. But weren't they pretty?
