 battleshipplan_1912
In early 1912, the Dutch minister of navy J. Wentholt proposed to build a ship which was a continuation of the pre-dreadnoughts built during the previous years.
The design, labelled Pantserschip 1912, was to displace 7600 tonnes, and to have an armament of four 280-mm guns in two twin turrets, a secondary battery of 10 single 105-mm guns behind shields and three torpedo tubes of 53 cm.
Less than a month after Pantserschip 1912 had been rejected, he formed a State Committee which was to investigate the possibilities for a stronger maritime defence of the Netherlands East Indies against Japan, which was considered the most likely enemy.

 Battleship   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
From 1870 to 1890 Battleship design was in a wildly experimental phase, as different navies experimented with different turret arrangements, sizes and numbers, with each new design rendering the previous ones largely obsolete overnight.
The main Battleship nations during this period were Britain, France and Russia, plus newcomers Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy, while Turkey and Spain built small numbers of armoured frigates and cruisers, and Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands built smaller "coastal battleships" (pantserschip) of up to 5,000 tons.
The first warships resembling modern battleships were built in Britain around 1870 with the Devastation class of low-freeboard turret ships, a few years after the first battle between ironclad warships (the USS Monitor and CSS Virginia at Hampton Roads, Virginia).
