Yes, this monster has finally arrived. It comprises all of the modern cruisers built by Germany, starting in the mid-1880s and lasting until 1945; the postwar German navies have eschewed an overseas role in favor of its traditional (mainly, pre-Kaiser Bill) coastal defense role and haven't built anything larger than a destroyer since (though admittedly, today's destroyers dwarf the cruisers of a century ago in both size and capabilities). It might take me a little while to get the GTC tags on all of the pages, as there are so many, but I'll do my best to get them up quickly. Thanks for all who take the time to review the topic.

Comment The subtopics don't count towards the article count in this topic, so this topic has 6 articles, not 121. You can see this at such topics as Wikipedia:Featured topics/Victoria Cross, Wikipedia:Featured topics/Maya Angelou and Wikipedia:Featured topics/Solar System.--十八 21:42, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, well that's a lot less visually impressive. At least I learned this before I got through tagging all of the sub-topic articles. Parsecboy (talk) 23:16, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

With that in mind, this nomination will be moved from GTC to FTC. GamerPro64 01:16, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
