 The purchase caused a panic in Greece, as the balance of naval power would shift to the Ottomans in the near future.The Greek government pressed AG Vulcan to finish "Salamis" as quickly as possible, but she could not be completed before mid-1915, by which time both of the new Ottoman battleships would have been delivered.The Greeks ordered two dreadnoughts from French yards, slightly modified versions of the French ; the first, "Vasilefs Konstantinos", was laid down on 12 June 1914.
