== History ==

''The SMS Ostfriesland stood as the second ship among the Helgoland class of formidable dreadnought battleships within the Imperial German Navy. Honoring the East Frisia locale, construction of Ostfriesland commenced in October 1908 at the Kaiserliche Werft shipyard in Wilhelmshaven. The vessel was officially christened on 30 September 1909 and entered active service on 1 August 1911.''

Together with her three sibling vessels, [https://wiki.warthunder.com/SMS_Helgoland Helgoland], Thüringen, and Oldenburg, Ostfriesland took part in all significant fleet maneuvers of World War I in the North Sea, engaging the British Grand Fleet. Notably, she played a pivotal role in the Battle of Jutland from 31 May to 1 June 1916, marked as the most extensive naval confrontation of the conflict. Additionally, the ship actively participated in Baltic Sea operations against the Russian Navy, notably contributing to the initial unsuccessful incursion into the Gulf of Riga in August 1915.
