Scharnhorst class battleships

[edit]

Germany's first class of battleships built after the disarmament of Versailles, these two ships saw active service careers during WWII, including a successful raid into the Atlantic, the destruction of the aircraft carrier HMS Glorious, and the Channel Dash. Scharnhorst was sunk at the Battle of North Cape and Gneisenau met her end as a bombed-out blockship in Danzig. This is the second to last ship class before my master plan is complete. These will all eventually go to FAC as part of said master plan. Parsecboy (talk) 00:19, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
