The ''Götterdämmerung'' class was a planned set of two superbattleships to be operated by the Englean [[Kaiserliche-Marine]] during the [[First Great War (Sunalaya)|First Great War]]. Planned during the early 1910s, the class was designed to succeed the previous ''Hohenzern'' class battleships and to "out-gun" the vessels currently in service with the major nations of the time. The primary feature of the vessel was the inclusion of the prototype 42 cm (16.5 in) SK L/45 guns recently developed by the Kaiserliche-Marine. Ultimately only one vessel would be built, the SMS ''Götterdämmerung'', which would see service until 1950. The ''Götterdämmerung'' would see action in the First Great War, being a major target of the [[Rhodeve Navy]] during the [[Hunt for the Götterdämmerung]] in 1917.
