Turkish battleship Mesudiye
- Turkish battleship Mesudiye
The "Mesudiye" was a pre-dreadnought battleship of the Ottoman Navy. It was constructed by Sultan Abdulaziz, who had a passion for creating a navy. Unfortunately this proved ineffective and expensive to maintain, so the ships largely fell into neglect. At the time of its construction it was considered one of the most powerfull ships in the world.
