The DKB built two "Teichkreuzers" For Firanj
http://www.navalism.org/index.php?topic=2087.msg22318#msg22318
But by removing the armament, scarping the hull and building a new hull for the guns to go on, one could get a pair of these ships. Due to saving due to reusing guns, and income from scraping, the net cost would be the "standard" Firanji 4000ton.
