The story of KMS Graf Zeppelin

 

“Graf Zeppelin was the lead ship in a class of two carriers of the same name  ordered by the Kriegsmarine of Nazi Germany. She was the only aircraft carrier launched by Germany and represented part of the Kriegsmarine's attempt to create a well-balanced oceangoing fleet,”

 

And this is the forth aircraft carrier story, I just guess I really like writing about these ships than any other ships in the navy because of their planes taking off and striking the enemy with torpedoes and dive bombs that explodes on the deck of any ship it hits and the torpedoes really do so much damage especially when it floods a part of the ship.

The description of the ship is below this sentence.

 

 KMS Graf Zeppelin

            Armament: 16 × 15 cm SK C/28 guns

                                 12 × 10.5 cm SK C/33 guns

            Armor: Belt armor: 100 mm (3.9 in)

  Flight deck armor: 45 mm (1.8 in)

  Main deck armor: 60 mm (2.4 in)

            Speed: 33.8 knots (62.6 km/h; 38.9 mph)

            Displacement: 33,550 tons

 

As said earlier the KMS Graf Zeppelin is the only aircraft carrier of the German navy at the time (world war 2 or 1) but it never even got the chance to prove its worth to Nazi Germany

and after a while they slowly but surely they scrapped it for parts kind of a waste of money you know because they didn’t even use it as much by the way one of the things they took from the ship was a secondary armament which they decided to put in the newly occupied Norway coast (I’m just guessing where they put it) to defend it against the US, UK, Sweden and some others.

But the main reason they never used it was because of the shifting of construction priorities necessitated by the war so they scuttled it after they got all the needed parts from the ship
