Unfinished ships don't generally get articles, this is longstanding practice - there's really nothing about the ship that can be said that isn't already in the class article |

The '''SMS ''Württemberg''''' was the fourth ship of the {{sclass-|Bayern|battleship|4}} and the last battleship constructed by the [[Imperial German Navy]]. Like her sister ship, [[SMS Sachsen (1916)|SMS Sachsen]], SMS ''Württemberg'' was not completed when she was launched. She was scrapped in 1921 as she by far exceeded the limitations placed on the Kriegsmarine by the [[Treaty of Versailles]]. |
|||
==Construction== |
|||
On August 12, 1914, a few days after the [[First World War]] broke out, Hamburg [[shipyard]] [[AG Vulcan]] received the contract to construct the SMS ''Württemberg'' for a sum of about 49,000,000 [[German gold marks|Gold Marks]]. Construction of the awesome vessel was slow at best due to [[Blockade of Germany|wartime shortages]] of men and material, despite the reuse of materials such as a spare [[keel]] from the [[SMS Kaiser Wilhelm II]]. The ship was finally launched and christened the ''V'' by the Duke of [[Württemberg]], despite the current service of the older [[Ironclad]] vessel by the same name as a torpedo training vessel at the same time. Further construction on the ship remained slow and finally ground to after the war had ended, and so was discontinued twelve months before completion. |
