DKM Lützow (Deutschland)

Német "zsebcsatahajó"

Deutschland (later re-named Lützow), was the lead ship of her class that served in the German Kriegsmarine before and during World War II. The ship was originally classified as a Panzerschiff ("armoured ship") by Germany. The Kriegsmarine reclassified them as heavy cruisers in February 1940. The British initially nicknamed the three ships of this class "pocket battleships" due to the fact they significantly outgunned the cruisers of any other navy.Displacement: 12,100 t standard; 16,200 t full load Length: 186 metres (610 ft) Beam: 21.6 metres (71 ft) Draught: 7.4 metres (24 ft) Propulsion: Eight MAN diesels, two propellers, 52,050 hp Speed: 28.5 knots (52.8 km/h) Range: 8,900 nautical miles (16,500 km) at 20 knots (37 km/h) Complement: 1,150 Armament: 6 × 28 cm (11 inch) 8 × 15 cm (5.9 inch) 6 × 10.5 cm (4.1 inch) 8 × 3.7 cm 10 × 2 cm 8 × 53.3 cm (21 inch) torpedo tubes Armour:turret face: (160 mm)belt: (80 mm)deck: (40 mm) Aircraft carried: Two Arado 196 seaplanes, one catapult
