The Greek battleship Vasilefs Konstantinos was derived from the French Bretagne class rather than developed as an entirely independent design. World War I halted the project before the ship could enter service. The delivery is humorous, but the example adds another national programme to the global picture in 1914. It also shows how war interrupted foreign-yard procurement.
