Top 10 Biggest World War I Battleships

This is a list of the 10 biggest and most important battleships that fought in World War 1 and some of which fought in World War 2 as well. You might find some mistakes because the ships were updated as the war went on.

Guys, sorry to say that, but this time you got it all wrong. You put Moltke at roughly 185 meters lenght, but you forgot about Seydlitz at about 200 meters, and Derfflinger measuring about 212 meters. For the US battleships as well as Warspite and Queen Elizabeth you have presented their late World War II appearances. During WWI they all looked differently ( and you have apparentlu forgotten about ships like Tiger, or Repulse and Renown, waaay longer than everything else here) For the Japanese ships you not only gave them WWII looks but also lenght which they had after their refits in 1930s.
I like your work, but please do a bit more research sometimes 😉

Ehm the picture of the RN Agincourt is wrong is looks like the USS Colorado class

[franzhairilvonhipper]

The images shown are not the ship's original look during ww1 except for the Moltke. The rest are all from post ww1 period after modernization and reconstruction. and the Agincourt shown is not Agincourt

[Packless]

3:30 ...that's not Agincourt...
...Agincourt had 7 turrets with 14 guns in total...more than every other battleship...
...b.t.w...it showed that this configuration was very impracctuical...!
...and once more b.t.w...the design- and construction-history was...well, let's say rather confusing... 🤪
...well...no...in fact it was VERY confusing...! 🤪🤪🤪
...ordered by the brazilian navy, then sold to Turkey before it was completed and confiscated by the Royal Navy when WW1 broke out...
...and when WW1 ended, they tried to sell it back to Brazil, but this atempt failed, so the ship was scaped in 1922...!

If you're going to make a list about the "Biggest" Battleships it should be done by displacement not length. This should be called "Top 10 LONGEST World War I Battleships".

#3 the graphic is NOT the HMS Agincourt, looks more like USS Mississippi BB-23.

[JANG]

The Agincourt is NOT a new Mexico class battleship

Greetings from Uruguay!
I'm a fan of The Buzz, but I've noticed a few mistakes in the latest videos. Besides, if it is a First World War video, why not show the ships in that configuration?

[bigwerve]

Moltke is on here so the repulse and renown should be as well.the German bayern class should be as well

[zappaoldie]

Good idea and intension but poorly researched and full of mistakes. The picture from Agincourt is definitely an american battleship, perhaps New Mexico Class, Hindenburg (Derfflinger Class) was the biggest realized german battlecruiser. What's about HMS Tiger?

[rayofhope]

If you are going to make such video’s please get the facts correct. Number 3is not Hms Agincourt - you show a US ship of completely different profile and detail. It just makes your listing questionable in all details.

[josephgallacher]

That is not HMS Agincourt, the real one famously had 7 Turrets with total of 14 14inch guns.and certainly did not have a Catapult Launched Plane, looks like a USNavy ship, Suggest add Armament, speed and range.

[Gleeful_Winner]

The texas should be there somewhere, its massive.

This comparison is really weird. The title says biggest World War 1 battleships. First, if you say battleships, you shouldn't include battlecruisers like Moltke, because that's a different ship type. Second, if you look for the biggest ship, it would be better, to compare the displacement rather than the length, because that can be confusing. For example, if you include battlecruisers and you compare the ships by their length, the list should consist of mainly battlecruisers, because they are all longer than battleships (at least longer than the WW1 dreadnaught type battleships). That's the case because of the length-to-beam-ratio which has to be more focused towards length for battlecruiser in order to enable them to reach higher top speeds. So, with the parameters, you chose, there are several ships missing on that list.

By the way, HMS Canada was a single ship class. It wasn't a member of the Iron Duke class.

[volbound]

Many of these ships were also involved in WW2 and some of them were even more famous for WW2 attributes.

[detierross]

YEAH:I think that got the CANNON SIZE wrong of these battle ships to;; I think the Dreadnaughts had 16 or 17 inch Cannons, biggest BATTLE SHIP GUNS AT THE TIME TO???

[antonystrong]

If a ship was not ever serving at the time of Ww1 then how can you include it in this

[MrEHGmusic]

What's about SMS Bayern, SMS Derfflinger??

[Kevinsan]

You should do each country most powerful warships from both World Wars

[bigwerve]

You missed hms tiger and hms Queen mary
