Background
About the ship
The lead ship of her class, Scharnhorst, was built at the Wilhelmshaven shipyard. At the beginning of World War II, the battleship took an active part in raid operations. After repairs in 1943, the ship was relocated to Norway with the goal of interrupting deliveries to the U.S.S.R via the Arctic convoys. On December 26, during a raid on the JW-55B convoy, Scharnhorst took heavy damage from battleship Duke of York and was sunk by torpedoes from cruisers Jamaica and Belfast.
