Scharnhorst class armored cruisers

[edit]

Germany's last traditional class of armored cruisers (before the hybrid SMS Blücher), these two ships gained widespread notoriety during WWI as the core of Spee's East Asia Squadron, which destroyed Cradock's squadron at the Battle of Coronel and were in turn destroyed themselves by Sturdee's battlecruisers at the Battle of the Falkland Islands.
