British naval architects inspect SMS Baden

A British technical paper examines Baden for evidence of late-war German battleship design. It asks whether the lessons of Jutland appeared in later alterations. An estimate put the ship more than a foot beyond its intended design draught, although its exact loading and stability could not be established. The inspection also records structural details and the arrangements for underwater damage control. Its comparison with contemporary British practice includes criticism of the German ship, so the report needs to be read as a contemporary professional assessment.
