The wreckage is still buried under the rubble and rubble of the Elbrek district of Kiel city.
German BEOWULF large cruiser

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

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 In order to make up for the outdated and insufficient firepower of the battle-class destroyers on the main gun fire control and targeting system, the British Navy designed a cruiser for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.
British Uranus Super Light Cruiser

British Uranus Super Light Cruiser

Named after the god of the sky in Roman mythology, it corresponds to the celestial planet Uranus. After World War II, the British colonies and territories continued to erupt in revolts, threatening British rule, and the British Navy therefore restarted the design and rearmament of new cruisers. It was the product of Britain's failed struggles. With the introduction of American technology, the N1 127mm rapid-fire gun replaced the slightly obsolete 113mm naval gun. The automatic loader and water cooling device provided a solid guarantee for the continuous firing of the gun, theoretically increasing the firing rate of the gun to 66 rounds per minute. However, because the turret was too heavy, it had to be installed on the ship in the form of a single gun.
British NOX class II light cruiser

British NOX class II light cruiser

Named after the goddess of the night, it is a light cruiser in the first-class design proposal.

The NOX class represented a design proposal for the installation of a small caliber rapid-fire naval gun. It is planned to adopt a twin-mounted 113mm/45x diameter QF Mk.I(Mk.IIIUD gun base) gun as a dual-purpose anti-aircraft gun. This artillery uses fixed ammunition and has a firing rate of up to 12 rounds per minute. It is commonly found on aircraft carriers such as HMS Royal Ark and HMS Glory and HMS Glory.
