Bremen-class cruiser

The ''Bremen'' class was a group of seven light cruisers built for the Imperial German Navy in the early 1900s. The seven ships, , , , , , , and , were an improvement upon the previous . They were significantly larger than the earlier class, and were faster and better armored. Like the ''Gazelles'', they were armed with a main battery of ten 10.5 cm SK L/40 guns and a pair of torpedo tubes.
The ships of the ''Bremen'' class served in a variety of roles, from overseas cruiser to fleet scout to training ship. ''Bremen'' and ''Leipzig'' were deployed to the American and Asian stations, respectively, while the other five ships remained in German waters with the High Seas Fleet. At the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, ''Leipzig'' was in the Pacific Ocean in the East Asia Squadron; she saw action at the Battle of Coronel in November and was sunk a month later at the Battle of the Falkland Islands. ''Bremen'' was sunk by a Russian mine in December 1915, but the other five ships of the class survived the war.
Three of the surviving ships, ''Lübeck'', ''München'', and ''Danzig'', were seized by Britain as war prizes after the end of the war and sold for scrapping. The other two ships, ''Hamburg'' and ''Berlin'', were used as training cruisers through the 1920s. They were converted into barracks ships in the mid-1930s, a role they filled for a decade; in 1944, ''Hamburg'' was sunk by British bombers and later broken up for scrap, while ''Berlin'' was scuttled in deep water after the end of World War II to dispose of a load of chemical weapons.
==Design==
The 1898 Naval Law authorized the construction of 30 new light cruisers by 1904;〔Herwig, p. 42〕 the filled the requirements for the first ten vessels.The design for the ''Bremen'' class was an improved version of the preceding ''Gazelle'' class, the improvements chiefly being in size and speed. To accommodate the more powerful propulsion system, a third funnel was added. The armored deck was also thickened significantly. The fourth ship of the class, ''Lübeck'', was fitted with steam turbines, so the quality of turbine engines could be compared with otherwise identical vessels.〔Gardiner, p. 259〕 The ''Bremen'' class was followed by the ''Königsberg'' class, which was very similar to the ''Bremen''s, including the same armament. And like the ''Bremen''s, one ship of the class, , was equipped with turbine engines while the rest had traditional triple-expansion engine.〔Gardiner & Gray, p. 157〕
