Königsberg-class cruiser (1905)
The ''Königsberg'' class was a group of four light cruisers built for the German Imperial Navy. The class comprised four vessels: , the lead ship, , , and . The ships were an improvement on the preceding ''Bremen'' class, being slightly larger and faster, and mounting the same armament of ten 10.5 cm SK L/40 guns and two torpedo tubes.
The four ships saw extensive service during World War I. ''Königsberg'' conducted commerce warfare in the Indian Ocean before being trapped in the Rufiji River and sunk by British warships. Her guns nevertheless continued to see action as converted artillery pieces for the German Army in German East Africa. ''Nürnberg'' was part of the German East Asia Squadron, and participated in the Battles of Coronel and Falkland Islands. At the former, she sank the British armored cruiser , and at the latter, she was in turn sunk, by the cruiser .
''Stuttgart'' and ''Stettin'' remained in German waters during the war, and both saw action at the Battle of Jutland on 31 May and 1 June 1916. The two cruisers engaged in close-range night fighting with the British fleet, but neither was significantly damaged. Both ships were withdrawn from service later in the war, ''Stettin'' to serve as a training ship, and ''Stuttgart'' to be converted into a seaplane tender in 1918. They both survived the war, and were surrendered to Britain as war prizes; they were dismantled in the early 1920s.
==Design==
The 1898 Naval Law authorized the construction of 30 new light cruisers by 1904;〔Herwig, p. 42〕 the and es filled the requirements for the first seventeen vessels. The ''Königsberg'' design followed the same general parameters as the two earlier classes, but with significant improvements in terms of size and speed. Like the ''Bremen''s, one member of the ''Königsberg'' class, , was fitted with steam turbines to evaluate their performance compared to traditional triple-expansion engines.〔〔Herwig, pp. 45–46〕
