The only German battlecruiser to serve outside the North/Baltic Seas, ''Goeben'' served in the Mediterranean before the start of World War I and fled to Turkey at the onset of hostilities. Her presence played a part in bringing the Ottomans into the war on the side of Germany and stymied Allied attempts to seize Constantinople. The ship was formally transferred to the Turkish Navy after the end of the war and served on active duty until 1950, and then in reserve into the early 70s, after which she was broken up for scrap. I wrote this article mostly in January and February, after which it passed GA and A-class reviews. The portion on the ship's wartime service has since been overhauled somewhat by Sturmvogel 66, who has access to a couple of specialized sources. I feel the article is of pretty high quality, and with the help of reviewers, we can ensure this article meets the FA standards. Thanks in advance to all those who take the time to review this article.

*'''Quick comment''' - the ISBN for Langensiepen is probably wrong, they're supposed to be either 10 or 13 digits long (not 11!)

*'''Image review''' - this is a simple one. All images but one are from the Bundesarchiv; the last one ([[:File:Yavuz (Goeben) battlecruiser Istambul April 1946 - cropped.jpg]]) was taken by a U.S. Navy photographer, which makes it a work of the U.S. federal government and in the public domain.
