SMS Braunschweig was the first of five pre-dreadnought battleships of the Braunschweig class built for the Imperial German Navy. Launched in December 1902 and named after the Duchy of Brunswick, the battleship was armed with four 28 cm (11 in) guns. The ship served mostly as a flagship in II Squadron before World War I. Braunschweig was decommissioned in 1913 but reactivated for the war a year later and assigned to IV Battle Squadron, operating in the North Sea and Baltic Sea. The ship engaged the Russian battleship Slava during the Battle of the Gulf of Riga in August 1915. Withdrawn from service in late 1915, Braunschweig spent the rest of the war first as a headquarters ship, then as a training ship, and finally as a barracks ship. Under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, the battleship was kept and modernized in 1921–1922. After serving as a flagship in the North Sea, Braunschweig was decommissioned again in January 1926.

- The only thing that stands out is we'd need to expand the year range to 1921–1922 per the MoS unless there's a space issue. Parsecboy (talk) 16:46, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
