Chios: Tier VII European Greek Battleship 1914

One of the Mackensen-class battlecruisers, which were under construction in Germany during World War I. If the series had been completed, one of the ships could have been transferred to the Greek Navy after the war, as a replacement for the Salamis-class battleships that Greece had ordered earlier but whose construction was halted at the end of 1914.
