KMS Nurnberg

Once upon a time, in the year 1934, the German Navy began construction on a new class of light cruisers. The Leipzig-class was designed to be a versatile and powerful addition to the fleet, capable of performing a variety of tasks. The second ship in the class, the Nürnberg, was launched in 1935 and quickly became a symbol of German naval power.

Nürnberg was a German light cruiser of the Leipzig class built for the Kriegsmarine. Nürnberg was laid down in 1934, launched in December of that year, and completed in November 1935. She was armed with a main battery of nine 15 cm (5.9 in) guns in three triple turrets and could steam at a speed of 32 knots (59 km/h; 37 mph). Nürnberg was the longest-serving major warship of the Kriegsmarine, and the only one to see active service after the end of World War II, though not in a German navy.
