''Nürnberg'' was a German light cruiser of the built for the Kriegsmarine. She was named after the city of Nuremberg and had one sister ship, . ''Nürnberg'' was laid down in 1934, launched in December of that year, and completed in November 1935. She was armed with a main battery of nine guns in three triple turrets and could steam at a speed of . ''Nürnberg'' was the longest-serving major warship of the Kriegsmarine, and the only one to see active service after the end of World War II, though not in a German navy. In the late 1930s, ''Nürnberg'' took part in the non-intervention patrols during the Spanish Civil War without major incident. After the outbreak of World War II in September 1939, she was used to lay defensive minefields off the German coast. She was thereafter used to escort offensive mine-layers in the North Sea until she was torpedoed by a British submarine in December 1939. She was thereafter used as a training ship in the Baltic Sea for most of the rest of the war, apart from a short deployment to Norway from November 1942 to April 1943. In January 1945, she was assigned to mine-laying duties in the Skaggerak, but severe shortages of fuel permitted only one such operation. After the end of the war, ''Nürnberg'' was seized by the Royal Navy and ultimately awarded to the Soviet Union as war reparations. In December 1945, a Soviet crew took over the ship, and the following month took her to Tallinn, where she was renamed ''Admiral Makarov''. She served in the Soviet Navy, first in the 8th Fleet, then as a training cruiser based in Kronstadt. By 1960, she had been broken up for scrap. ==Design== (詳細はlong overall and had a beam of and a maximum draft of forward. She displaced at full combat load. Her propulsion system consisted of two steam turbines and four MAN two-stroke double-acting diesel engines.〔〔Gardiner & Chesneau, p. 231〕 Steam for the turbines was provided by six Marine-type double-ended oil-fired boilers.

''Nürnberg'' had a crew of 25 officers and 648 enlisted men.〔Gröner, p. 122〕 She was fitted with a catapult and a crane to handle two Heinkel He 60 floatplanes, though these were later replaced with Arado Ar 196 models.〔Whitley, No. 1, p. 235〕 The ship was armed with nine 15 cm SK C/25 guns mounted in three triple gun turrets. One was located forward, and two were placed in a superfiring pair aft, all on the centerline.

The ship was also equipped with eight 8.8 cm SK C/32 anti-aircraft guns, eight 3.7 cm SK C/30 anti-aircraft guns, and several 2 cm anti-aircraft guns, though the number of the latter changed over her career. ''Nürnberg'' also carried four triple torpedo tube mounts located amidships; they were supplied with twenty-four torpedoes. She was also capable of carrying 120 naval mines.〔Gröner, p. 120〕 The ship was protected by an armored deck that was thick amidships and an armored belt that was thick.
