The Kronenberg class battleship is a class of battleships built ordered in the early 1900s in order to provide faster firepower to the fleets. The previous class, the Hornung-class battleship, provided immense firepower, but its slow speed meant the enemy could possibly outrun any engagement. The Kronenberg-class was designed to counter that issue.
