Awesome!

Excellent drawings, I just love the looks of these later German cruisers.

Excellent work.

Hello everyone!

Thanks again, especially DG Alpha for the comment about Emden's badge. I have changed it to the Iron Cross.

Next: SMS Cöln II. And then the Kolbergs.

Greetings
GD

Just brilliant Gd!

And hello again!

The final type of German light cruisers: The Dresden II Class

The ten ships of the Dresden II class were all authorized under the war emergency programme. Like the Königsberg II class, they received names from older light cruisers which were lost earlier (and there were enough suitable names around, given the severity of German cruiser losses in the first two years of the war). They were larger than the Königsbergs, but otherwise quite similar; they packed more punch, including a third 88mm flak (which however seems not to have been actually mounted) and larger torpedoes (600mm caliber rather than 500mm), all four in swiveling deck tubes. They had a much larger bridge structure as well. Only two of this class were actually completed: SMS Dresden II (already in the archive) and SMS Cöln II. They differed from each other by the different shape of their underwater hull aft and by the fact that the 150mm guns abreast Cöln's brigde were mounted one deck higher than on Dresden; Cöln also had her mainmast mounted slightly further aft, an additional deckhouse forward of the CT and slightly different ventilators between the funnels. According to Gröner, the other eight ships were to be modeled along Dresden's lines, but there would certainly have been sundry minor differences too. Both Dresden and Cöln were scuttled at Scapa Flow after very short and uneventful careers and subsequently broken up.
