German PreDreadnought Schleiswig-Holstein (or Schleisen) of the Deutschland class after their 1930's refit.

Surprisingly, those two, plus Mikasa in Japan and Oregon in the United States, were the only Pre Dreadnoughts that still existed by WW2 (Germany's other predreads being scrapped or converted.)

EDIT: It should also be noted that Schleswig-Holstein is credited with firing the first shots of World War II, shelling the port of Danzig early morning hours of September 1 1939. In further irony, it was in Danzig (when it was in German hands) that Schleisen had been built.
