It is a member of the German class heavy cruiser, and is often called a "pocket battleship" by the British ". 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.
