Well, in reality the ship began to be built, but she was never completed. She was launched as an heavy cruiser (the Seydlitz, Hipper class), but when 95% completed she was selected for conversion into auxiliary aircraft carriers in early 1942. So, she changed her name in "Weser":





The real one during conversion, without superstructures:



Hope you like her!

Best regards,

"Seydlitz" was complete. NAA.011.257 say this: "... The 8" Cruizer "Seydlitz" at Bremen is reported to be now complete. ..."
Not find now, but read any english document where was say, that 11 june 1942 year this cruiser was sunk by mine near Tallin. And have superstructure above water only. Not say that was document was, so forget now. Write in himself research only. May be find this docu,ment later and write what was in it.
