The next ship that superseded battlecruiser Von der Tann was built under an enhanced design. A decision was made to increase the number of main battery turrets to five—the additional turret was placed in a superfiring position at the aft. The armor and displacement grew as well. During World War I, SMS Moltke participated in the Battle of Heligoland Bight, the Battle of Dogger Bank, the Battle of the Gulf of Riga, the Battle of Jutland, and Operation Albion.
