This is a very nice thread :D I love your excellent drawings and also noticed your fine badges (which I soon will present in the German CoA thread!) ;)

Hello again and thanks for the appreciation!

Next: The Königsberg-II-Class (thank god, their badges were either very simple or drawn already!!)

These four ships were Germany's last prewar cruiser design, ordered under the 1913 programme and completed late in 1916, all of them missing Jutland by a few months. They were slightly enlargened versions of the preceding Wiesbaden-class, having the same armament (8 150mm guns, 2 88mm guns, 4 500mm TT (2 single swiveling tubes on deck, two submerged), the same protection and the same speed (nominally; in service, the Königsbergs were good for 29 knots). They could be distinguished from the Wiesbadens by the more forward placement and the unequal height of their funnels. Amongst themselves, the main difference was the bridge shape; on Emden and Königsberg, upper and lower bridge level had approximately the same length, on Karlsruhe and Nürnberg, the upper bridge was shorter, the lower one longer. The latter pair also had larger ventilators between the first two funnels. Emden and Königsberg were virtually identical; Nürnberg further differed from Karlsruhe by the side-by-side arrangement of her 88mm flaks and her larger forward anchor, for which a hull recess was provided. None of the ships was modified, and they saw not much service (although one of them was hit by a 381mm shell in a skirmish in 1917, which did surprisingly little damage). All except Königsberg were interned and scuttled at Scapa Flow; Königsberg was ceded to France and renamed Metz in 1919, served till 1936 and then broken up.

You have made an excellent job of these cruisers GD. I will be sorry when these real life German cruisers come to an end with the next class.

And then there are the destroyers/ torpedo boats.
Excellent thread GD.

Another excellent set of cruisers.

Just a little note, the second Emden did not carry the city's coat of arms, but only the iron cross as a bow crest, even during the war, as can be seen here. The tradition of using both the crest and the cross came with the third Emden.

Excellent work. I think that British CL were more graceful,
but German CL were more menacing. These ships look great.
