The ship was equipped with twelve 30.5 cm (12 in) guns in six twin turrets, and had a top speed of 21.2 knots (39.3 km/h; 24.4 mph).

  • Why February 1 in particular? I saw that it was previously nominated for a different date and now has been switched to Feb. 1. Is there a reason? If not, I recommend simply moving it to non-specific date section so that if there is a FA that pertains to Feb. 1, it can run. Ergo Sum 23:34, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
