Admiral Graf Spee

Admiral Graf Spee

German pocket-battleship designed to attack Allied merchant routes in case of war. Germans could not afford to build a fleet that would match Royal Navy, so they tactics was to build the warships that would be able to operate on their own "beyond enemy lines". Admiral Graf Spee was heavily damaged during the Battle of River Plate and later sunked by the crew.
