Warts and all, Name That Warship:

SMS Goeben. Not sure if in this photo it is in Turkish service yet (as the Sultan Yavuz).

[Terminus]

Goeben is correct. The photo makes no mention of when it was taken, so I can't tell you whether or not she was in Turkish service at the time.

[Monter_Trismegistos]

At least it was taken before 1941, when the aft mast was remowed.

Probably also before 1930... He's smoking like a hell, and probably changing boilers using coal to those which uses oil somewhere 1918-1930 helped a lot.

Are we talking about the same Goeben here? The German cruiser which served with the Ottoman navy in WWI?

[Martti]

Yes we are. Goeben/Jawus Sultan Selim/Jawus Selim/Yavuz - she has had many names - was in active service until 1948, served as training ship until 1954 and was finally scapped (a pity) in 1974.

Whoa! Didn't know that!
