SMS Lothringen was the last of five pre-dreadnought battleships of the Braunschweig class built for the Imperial German Navy. Launched in May 1904, she was named for the then-German province of Lothringen. The ship was armed with a battery of four 28 cm (11 in) guns and had a top speed of 18 knots (33 km/h; 21 mph). She was to be replaced in July 1914 by dreadnought battleships but World War I prevented her retirement. The ship and the rest of II Squadron joined the dreadnoughts of the High Seas Fleet to support a raid on Scarborough, Hartlepool, and Whitby in December 1914. She primarily served as a guard ship in the German Bight; in poor condition by 1916, she was withdrawn from fleet service in February. She thereafter patrolled the Danish straits until replaced by the battleship Hannover in September 1917. After the war, she was converted into a depot ship for F-type minesweepers and placed in reserve in March 1920. (This article is part of a featured topic: Battleships of Germany.) (Full article...)

- HMS Princess Irene
There is consensus for the wording that was originally posted. The wording was changed, and I've now restored the original. Mjroots (talk) 05:10, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
- @WP:EW territory. There is clear consensus for "obliterated", which descibes the situaton. Mjroots (talk) 06:32, 28 May 2017 (UTC)]
- Where is the clear consensus to overrule that the blurb defers to the article, where obliterated was not mentioned. Stephen 06:49, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
- But, as I have already explained, the article states " At 11:14 GMT on 27 May, Princess Irene exploded and disintegrated." Although "obliterated" is not used, the meaning is clear enough. If it makes you happy, I will change disintegrated to was obliterated. Mjroots (talk) 07:36, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

2023 request
I would like to suggest we include the Benton fireworks disaster in this year's entry, given it will be the 40th anniversary of this tragedy. Bneu2013 (talk) 20:16, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
2024 request
I would like to suggest including Battle of Tsushima (1905) in the list for this year. On 27 May 1905, 11 battleships and 9 cruisers of the Imperial Russian Navy met 5 battleships and 29 cruisers of the Imperial Japanese Navy in the Sea of Japan. The decisive result of this battle ended the Russo-Japanese War. Did you know this is the only 'decisive' battle between two battleship fleets in the history?
