Greek Tegetthoffs would reshape the eastern Mediterranean

What if Greece received one or two Tegetthoff-class dreadnoughts, and how might they be modernized?

They could become useful eastern Mediterranean fleet units after machinery and anti-aircraft upgrades, probably operating with the Royal Navy.

Greek possession of two Tegetthoffs would add genuine capital ships to the eastern Mediterranean balance. Their presence could draw Greece and France into closer naval cooperation and force Italy to operate more cautiously. Likely modernization would focus on machinery, speed, and stronger anti-aircraft defenses, with secondary-battery choices depending on who performed the work. In wartime they would likely combine with the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet rather than operate as an isolated national squadron.
