In 1906, a design featuring turrets armed with two 283 mm guns and enhanced anti-torpedo protection was approved. SMS Nassau, built at the Wilhelmshaven dockyard, became Germany's first dreadnought. After World War I broke out, the battleship provided cover during the attack on Scarborough. In 1915, she participated in an attempt to penetrate the Gulf of Riga. In the Battle of Jutland, the combined efforts of Nassau and Thüringen led to the sinking of British cruiser Black Prince.</p><p> </p></div>
The lead ship in the first series of dreadnoughts of the Imperial German Navy. This battleship was notable for reliable armor, good torpedo protection, and a powerful secondary battery. He carried 283 mm guns that were not inferior in many aspects to larger-caliber gun systems adopted by other navies of the world.<br><br>{{Model3DViewer|78aa0638896844b099f797153484235b}}


|Performance=<!-- write text about performance in battles below -->
===Pros===
Nassau is the first ship in the German battleship line. He is similar to ''[[Kawachi]]'' in turret layout, but has smaller, faster-firing guns. Despite having the smallest caliber guns at Tier III, ''Nassau'' can still inflict good damage with this faster rate of fire.
* High survivability
* High rate of fire
* High secondary battery gun efficiency
===Cons===
* High detectability
* Low maneuverability


The accuracy on this ship, on the other hand, is noted by players as "hilarious" and very much like ''[[Kawachi]]''. Most of the fired shots will tend to miss the target.


Her secondary guns are beyond excellent for its tier, and can provide good protection against enemy destroyers who attempt to get close to the ''Nassau''.
==Ship Stats==
One must be aware also, that this ship has very poor detection range. Most ships you will encounter can shoot at you even before you see them.

===History===
 
SMS Nassau was the first dreadnought battleship built for the Imperial German Navy, a response to the launching of the British battleship HMS Dreadnought. Nassau was laid down on 22 July 1907 at the Kaiserliche Werft in Wilhelmshaven, and launched less than a year later on 7 March 1908, approximately 25 months after Dreadnought was launched. He was the lead ship of her class of four battleships, which included Posen, Rheinland, and Westfalen.
 
Nassau saw service in the North Sea in the beginning of World War I, in the II Division of the I Battle Squadron of the German High Seas Fleet. In August 1915, he entered the Baltic Sea and participated in the Battle of the Gulf of Riga, where he engaged the Russian battleship Slava. Following her return to the North Sea, Nassau and her sister ships took part in the Battle of Jutland on 31 May – 1 June 1916. During the battle, Nassau collided with the British destroyer HMS Spitfire. Nassau suffered a total of 11 killed and 16 injured during the engagement.
 
After World War I, the bulk of the High Seas Fleet was interned in Scapa Flow. As they were the oldest German dreadnoughts, the Nassau-class ships were for the time permitted to remain in German ports. After the German fleet was scuttled, Nassau and her three sisters were surrendered to the victorious powers as replacements for the sunken ships. Nassau was ceded to Japan in April 1920. With no use for the ship, Japan sold her to a British wrecking firm which then scrapped her in Dordrecht, Netherlands.
 
===Historical Inaccuracies===
* Historically traded two 88 mm secondary guns for two 88 mm flak guns. The in-game version, however, trades four 88s for four flak guns.
* ''Nassau''’s 1916-17 configuration is missing; all fourteen 88 mm casemated guns were removed.
* ''Nassau'' flies the war ensign of the Kriegsmarine despite serving only in the Imperial German Navy.
* The Kriegsmarine flag was first adopted in 1935; all four ''Nassau''s were scrapped between 1920 and 1924.

Nassau — Germany Tech Tree Tier III Battleship.

In 1903, on the proposal of Kaiser Wilhelm II, the development of a new armored ship began. In 1906, a design featuring turrets armed with two 283 mm guns and enhanced anti-torpedo protection was approved. SMS Nassau, built at the Wilhelmshaven dockyard, became Germany's first dreadnought. After World War I broke out, the battleship provided cover during the attack on Scarborough. In 1915, she participated in an attempt to penetrate the Gulf of Riga. In the Battle of Jutland, the combined efforts of Nassau and Thüringen led to the sinking of British cruiser Black Prince.

Pros

  • High survivability
  • High rate of fire
  • High secondary battery gun efficiency

Cons
