I gotta admit I can't wait to sail the High Seas with the H-39 and/or the H-44 class modern Super Battleships.

In a dream Kreigmarine fleet, I would name the ships KM Germania (H-44), KM Mackensen (H-39), and the KM Moltke (H-39), along with the Tirpitz, Gneisenau, Prinz Eugen, Hipper, 2 Deutschand class pocket battleships, one fleet carrier KM Graf Zeppelin, one escort carrier KM Seydlitz, plus 15 Z-class destroyers. I could hardly imagine a campaign to break out of the Atlantic in a all out commerce raiding scenario, sail into the Indian Ocean, shell the shores of Australia, evade US carrier aircraft, join the Yamato and the Musashi in the Philippines by 1944, annihilate the US fleet at Samar, Sibuyun, and the Leyte, return to the atlantic with a joint German/Japanese task force and crush the British Home fleet, block US/British/Soviet commerce. Sink the newly built HMS Vanguard. I could believe two Iowa class battleships are barely gonna stand up against the two Yamatos, Two H-39, and a H-44 battleship.:p

Only downfall is if the US or British carriers catch my fleet sneaking in undetected, then I shall take the beating, or perhaps down down with my ship, knowing I served the Vaterland well, and changed the textbooks of history, that WWII was not an easy win by sea, thus giving the Kriegsmarine surface fleet a higher status it should've deserved.

Hope this helps for a nice storyline motivation.
