Original – SMS Kaiser Wilhelm II, a pre-dreadnought battleship that served a coastal defense rôle in the early phases of WWI, before manpower shortages moved the focus to staffing the more modern ship designs.

Reason: Current Featured Article candiate, I don't think I need to defend a decision to help out feature article image work. =)
