Named after German Admiral Reinhard Schell, he served in the German Navy during World War II. It was launched on 1 April 1933 and commissioned on 12 November 1934. It was designed to circumvent the Treaty of Versailles's restrictions on the tonnage of German ships, while being equipped with powerful firepower and armor. It was dismantled after the war, but due to its large hull, the government had no economic reason to completely salvage the destroyed hull after the war. The wreckage is still buried under the rubble and rubble of the Elbrek district of Kiel city.
German BEOWULF large cruiser
It is a program in the design of D-class armored ships. In response to the construction of the Dunkirk-class battleships by the French Navy, Germany had to make major design changes to the D-class armored ships and built two new armored ships, code-named D and E. The German Navy chose the D5a option equipped with two quad-mounted 283mm guns. Designed and built to counter the new French naval threat, the German Navy's demand and design ambitions for large warships during World War II. However, for a number of reasons, including changes in political and military strategy, these plans ultimately failed to materialize and the BEOWULF was not actually built.
British Bacchus class light cruiser
Named after Bacchus, the god of wine, corresponding to the star Bacchus in the celestial body. In order to make up for the outdated and insufficient firepower of the battle-class destroyers on the main gun fire control and targeting system, the British Navy designed a cruiser for coordination and command of the battle-class destroyers, the Bacchus class. The design was inspired by the Edinburgh-class cruiser's hull construction concept. A six-seat twin-mounted 113mm RP10MarkIV rapid-fire gun is installed along the central axis. The sub-charged ammunition is used to obtain better ballistic performance. It can fire about 15-20 rounds per minute. Due to the poor financial situation of the United Kingdom, ships of this class were not actually built.
Swedish Storkyrkoskeppet warship

United States Constitution Class II Railgun Destroyer DDR-2000
It is a next-generation main surface ship designed by the U.S. Navy to meet the needs of the future battlefield. From the 2041 Navy RFP, it aims to build the next generation of main surface ships to replace the aging Zumwalt-class and Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, as well as a limited number of Oregon-class warships. The design takes full advantage of the progress made in rail gun, laser and sensor technology in the past 30 years. The ship recommends artillery as the primary weapon system and focuses less on full stealth and more on balanced hull design and firepower. It was the first warship in history to incorporate railguns as a major aspect of its design.
stealth destroyer
It is a modern warship that is specially designed to reduce radar cross-sectional area (RCS) and infrared radiation, making it difficult to detect by the enemy. The inclined hull design and superstructure are adopted to avoid being perpendicular to the water surface to reduce the reflection of radar waves. Antennas and electronics are often conformal in design and built into the hull to reduce radar signals. The use of absorbing materials and special coatings is also a common means of reducing RCS. The design not only considers radar stealth, but also includes reducing infrared signatures to reduce the possibility of being detected by enemy infrared detection equipment.
