Pre-dreadnought battleship Pre-dreadnought battleships were sea-going battleships built between the mid- to late 1880s and 1905, before the launch of HMS "Dreadnought" . Pre-dreadnoughts replaced the ironclad battleships of the 1870s and 1880s. Built from steel, and protected by hardened steel armour, pre-dreadnought battleships carried a main battery of very heavy guns in barbettes (open or with armoured gunhouses) supported by one or more secondary batteries of lighter weapons. They were powered by coal-fuelled triple-expansion steam engines.

Kaiser Friedrich III-class battleship "Kaiser Friedrich III"-class battleships were a class of pre–World War I, pre-dreadnought battleships of the German Kaiserliche Marine. The class was made up of five ships, all of which were named for German emperors. The "Kaiser Friedrich III" class saw the introduction of the traditional armament layout for German battleships—four large-caliber guns, but of comparatively smaller caliber compared to contemporary battleships, in two gun turrets—prior to the advent of the dreadnought type of battleship in the early 1900s. They also standardized the use of three screws for battleships.

SMS Hannover SMS "Hannover" ("His Majesty's Ship Hannover") was the second of five "Deutschland"-class pre-dreadnoughts of the German Imperial Navy ("Kaiserliche Marine"). "Hannover" and the three subsequently constructed ships differed slightly in both design and construction from the lead ship "Deutschland" in their propulsion systems and slightly thicker armor. "Hannover" was laid down in November 1904 and commissioned into the High Seas Fleet in October 1907; this was ten months after the revolutionary "all-big-gun" HMS "Dreadnought" was commissioned into the Royal Navy. As a result, "Hannover" was obsolete as a capital ship before she was even completed; "Dreadnought"' s more powerful main battery and higher speed would have made it unwise for a ship like "Hannover" to engage her in the line of battle. The ship was named after the Prussian province of Hannover, now in Lower Saxony.

French battleship Condorcet Condorcet was one of the six "Danton" class semi-dreadnought battleships built for the French Navy in the early 1900s.

Later that month, the ship participated in the Battle of Antivari in the Adriatic Sea and helped to sink an Austro-Hungarian protected cruiser. "Condorcet" spent most of the rest of the war blockading the Straits of Otranto and the Dardanelles to keep German, Austro-Hungarian and Turkish warships bottled up.
