I'm a battleship, and I have 4 stacks.

But, the 4 stacks are arranged in two pairs abreast (that is, one pair with two stacks side by side, then another pair with two stacks side by side).

I'm not a crazy project, and was indeed built.

Who am I?? :^D

F.

I'm running out of jokes...

Are you a pre-Drednought?

Yayay! Only pre-Dreadnoughts can be so odd..

Also, with only 72 or 73 Dreadnought ships, it's kinda easy to identify them. Pre-Dreadnoughts are much more fun!!

As stated above from Janes Battleships of the 20th Century. "The four Sachsen class were designed for coast defense in the early 1870s. Displacing 7900 tons, they were armed with six 26cm (10.2in) guns in open barbette mountings." There is a good picture in this book showing the two dual stacks.
