Pillau-class cruiser
The ''Pillau'' class of light cruisers was a pair of ships built in Germany just before the start of World War I. The class consisted of and . The ships were initially ordered for the Russian Navy in 1912, and were built by the Schichau-Werke shipyard in Danzig. After the outbreak of World War I, however, the German ''Kaiserliche Marine'' (Imperial Navy) confiscated the ships before they were completed. The ships were similar in design to other German light cruisers, although they lacked an armored belt. They were the first German light cruisers to be equipped with 15 cm SK L/45 guns, of which they carried eight. The two ships had a top speed of .
''Pillau'' and ''Elbing'' saw extensive service with the German High Seas Fleet. ''Pillau'' participated in the Battle of the Gulf of Riga in August 1915, and ''Elbing'' took part in the bombardment of Yarmouth and Lowestoft in April 1916. The following month, both ships were heavily engaged in the Battle of Jutland on 31 May –1 June; there, ''Elbing'' scored the first hit of either side in the battle. ''Elbing'' was accidentally rammed and immobilized by the German battleship in the confused night fighting, and her crew were ultimately forced to scuttle her. ''Pillau'' continued to serve with the fleet until the end of the war. After the German defeat, she was ceded to Italy as a war prize and renamed ''Bari''. She served in the ''Regia Marina'' (Royal Navy) until June 1943, when she was sunk in Livorno by USAAF bombers, and eventually broken up for scrap in 1948.
==Design==
In 1912, the Russian Navy sought builders for a pair of light cruisers; the Schichau-Werke shipyard in Danzig won the contract. The two ships were originally ordered by the Russian Navy as ''Maraviev Amurskyy'' and ''Admiral Nevelskoy'' from the Schichau-Werke that year.〔 The two ships were laid down in 1913; ''Maraviev Amurskyy'' was launched on 11 April 1914, after which fitting-out work commenced. Both ships were requisitioned by the German Navy on 5 August 1914, and were renamed ''Pillau'' and ''Elbing'', respectively. ''Elbing'' was launched on 21 November 1914. ''Pillau'' and ''Elbing'' were commissioned into the High Seas Fleet on 14 December 1914 and 4 September 1915, respectively.〔Gröner, pp. 110–111〕
