Königsberg-class cruiser (1915)
The ''Königsberg class'' of light cruisers was a group of four ships commissioned into Germany's Imperial Navy shortly before the end of World War I. The class comprised , , , and , all of which were named after light cruisers lost earlier in the war. The ships were an incremental improvement over the preceding s, and were armed with a main battery of eight 15 cm SK L/45 guns and had a designed speed of .
''Königsberg'' and ''Nürnberg'' saw action at the Second Battle of Heligoland Bight, where ''Königsberg'' was hit by a shell from the battlecruiser . Three of the four ships were to participate in a climactic fleet operation to attack the British Grand Fleet in the final days of the war, but revolts in the fleet forced the cancellation of the plan. ''Karlsruhe'', ''Emden'', and ''Nürnberg'' were interned at Scapa Flow after the end of the war, and were scuttled on 21 June 1919, though only ''Karlsruhe'' was successfully sunk. The other two ships were beached by British sailors and ceded to the Allies. ''Königsberg'' was transferred to the French Navy as a war prize and commissioned as ''Metz''; she served with the French Navy until the 1930s, when she was broken up for scrap.
==Design==
The design for the ''Königsberg'' was prepared in 1913.〔Gröner, p. 113〕 The design was an incremental improvement over the previous , with a larger hull and greater displacement, but with the same armament, speed, and armor protection.〔Gröner, pp. 111–113〕 By 1916, thirteen German light cruisers had been lost in the course of World War I;〔Herwig, p. 205〕 after they were commissioned, the ships of the ''Königsberg'' class took the names of four of these lost cruisers.〔Gardiner & Gray, p. 162〕
''Königsberg'' was ordered as ''Ersatz'' and laid down at the AG Weser shipyard in Bremen in 1914. She was launched on 18 December 1915 and commissioned eight months later on 12 August 1916. ''Emden'', ordered as ''Ersatz'' , followed her sister at AG Weser, also in 1914. She was launched on 1 February 1916 and commissioned into the fleet on 16 December 1916. ''Karlsruhe'' was ordered as ''Ersatz'' and laid down in 1915 at the Imperial Dockyard in Kiel. Launching ceremonies took place on 31 January 1916, and after fitting-out work was completed, she was commissioned on 15 November 1916. The last ship of the class, ''Nürnberg'', was laid down as ''Ersatz'' at the Howaldtswerke shipyard in Kiel in 1915. She was launched on 14 April 1916 and commissioned on 15 February 1917.〔
