SMS Lützow
SMS ''Lützow'' was the second built by the German ''Kaiserliche Marine'' ((英語:Imperial Navy)) before World War I. Ordered as a replacement for the old protected cruiser , ''Lützow'' was launched on 29 November 1913, but not completed until 1916. ''Lützow'' was a sister ship to from which she differed slightly in that she was armed with an additional pair of 15 cm (5.9 inch) secondary guns and had an additional watertight compartment in her hull. She was named in honor of the Prussian general Ludwig Adolf Wilhelm von Lützow who fought in the Napoleonic Wars.
''Lützow'' was commissioned on 8 August 1915, but did not join the I Scouting Group until 20 March due to engine damage during trials. This was after most of the major actions conducted by the German battlecruiser force had taken place. As a result, ''Lützow'' saw very little action during the war. She took part in only one bombardment operation: the Bombardment of Yarmouth and Lowestoft on 24–25 April 1916, after which she became Admiral Franz von Hipper's flagship. One month later, the ship was heavily engaged during the Battle of Jutland, on 31 May–1 June. During the battle, ''Lützow'' sank the British battlecruiser and is sometimes given credit for the armored cruiser . However, she was heavily damaged by an estimated 24 heavy-caliber shell hits. With her bow thoroughly flooded, the ship was unable to make the return voyage to German ports; her crew was evacuated and she was sunk by torpedoes fired by one of her escorts, the torpedo boat .
== Construction ==
''Lützow'' was ordered as ''Ersatz Kaiserin Augusta'', to replace the elderly protected cruiser , which was by then 20 years old. Built by Schichau-Werft in Danzig, her keel was laid down in May 1912, and she was launched on 29 November 1913. ''Lützow'' was commissioned on 8 August 1915 for trials, and was sent to Kiel on 23 August. There she completed her final fitting out, including her armament. While on trials on 25 October, ''Lützow''s port low-pressure turbine was badly damaged. Repairs were conducted in Kiel until late January 1916, after which the ship underwent further trials. These were finished on 19 February; ''Lützow'' was assigned to the I Scouting Group on 20 March, and arrived at her new unit four days later.
On completion she displaced nearly and was long. The ship was capable of a top speed of , and could steam for at a cruising speed of . Mounting a main armament of eight 30.5 cm (12 in) guns, ''Lützow'' was the largest and most powerful German battlecruiser at the time, along with her elder sister .
