Germany had a significant naval presence during World War I and World War II, with various classes of battleships. In World War I, the German Imperial Navy had a total of 12 battleships, including the famous dreadnoughts like the SMS Kaiser. In World War II, the Kriegsmarine operated a smaller number of battleships, primarily the Bismarck and Tirpitz, along with several other vessels classified as pocket battleships.

Japan had 8 battleships built as such and also 4 fast battleships which had been built as battlecruisers but improved between the wars.
