German veteran of jutland ceded as a war prize. A modernisation 1934-5 removed torpedoes and forward boilders/funnel (hence slow 1) and modified aa armament. She could carry 120 mines
Used as a amphibious command ship and convoy escort until sunk by USAAF bombing june 1943
MINES seems somewhat obvious, and rare-ish on cruisers (which is OK), but speed 1 will make it hard to use. I actually really like MINES and wish it was a little more wide spread in the game, this just may be a hard unit to really use it on without some other SA to help out (or it could just be a sub-optimal minelayer).
I wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast; for I intend to go in harm's way. - Captain John Paul Jones
