wheelsup_cavu Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 From the Google aerial views I always thought Prinz Eugen was on its side. I never realized it had turned full turtle @DD_Arthur.

I never realized it had turned full turtle @DD_Arthur. Wheels I didn’t realise until you posted that Prinz Eugen was at the Bikini tests and now lies wrecked in the Pacific! I assumed the RAF had deep-sixed her with a Tallboy in 1945. After they did for the Tirpitz they went on a capital ship hunt with those things during the closing months of the war. Is it the Lutzow or the Admiral Sheer that’s under a carpark in Kiel? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lutzow survived albeit as a Russian ship and was scrapped in the 50s according to Wiki. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Lee Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Excellent thread. I always thought the Prinz Eugen was such a majestic and aptly named ship. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Serpent Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Hipper class cruisers, at 18,000 tons were likely the biggest ships that could still be called “cruisers” at the time. My guess is that they were far more dangerous than the so called “pocket battleships.” The cruisers of other nations seem pretty wimpy by comparison. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
