König — Germany Tech Tree Tier V Battleship.

The König design was based on Kaiser—the preceding battleship class. The new ship was equipped with a single turret positioned along the centerline, replacing the previous arrangement of two side turrets. SMS König was built at the Wilhelmshaven shipyard and commissioned at the beginning of World War I. During the Battle of Jutland, the battleship suffered significant damage and took on 1,600 tons of water. Following the capitulation of Germany, König was towed to Scapa Flow, where she was scuttled by the crew on June 21, 1918. The remains of the ship still rest on the sea floor.
