  1. Why did the German hexagonal dreadnoughts slow down so badly in turns? Given that the increase in the frontal area that a ship presents to the oncoming waterflow at a given sideslip angle is relatively lower for a fat, low-aspect-ratio ship like a Nassau than it is for a ship with a higher aspect ratio, one would've thought that the early German dreads would've been less affected by turn-induced increases in drag than most other dreadnoughts. Did their low aspect ratio allow them to yaw quickly enough to cause them, when turning, to reach a sideslip angle so much higher than that of a finer-lined ship as to outweigh the lesser increase in frontal area at a given sideslip angle?
