	German auxiliary cruiser Atlantis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Atlantis, known to the Kriegsmarine as Schiff 16 and to the Royal Navy as Raider-C, was a converted German Hilfskreuzer (auxiliary cruiser, or merchant or commerce raider) of the Kriegsmarine, which, during World War II, travelled more than 161,000 km in 602 days, and sank 22 ships totaling 144,384 tons.
		The cruiser carried a dummy funnel, variable-height masts, and was well supplied with paint, canvas, and materials for further altering her appearance, including costumes for the crew and flags.
		By April, Atlantis had returned to the Atlantic where, on the 17th, Kapitän Rogge, understandably mistaking the Egyptian liner Zamzam for a British liner being used as a troop carrier or Q-ship, as she was in fact the former Bibby Liner Leicestershire, opened fire at 8.4 km.

		Atlantis, originally mentioned by Plato, was supposedly an ancient culture and island that he said was destroyed by a natural disaster (probably an earthquake) about 9,000 years before Plato's own time.
		Atlantis might be a work of pure fiction, however, possibly intended to illustrate Plato's philosophy on the ideal government.
		Among those who believe in an historical Atlantis, the leading theory holds that Plato's story of the destruction of Atlantis was inspired by massive volcanic eruptions on the Mediterranean island of Santorini during Minoan times.

		Atlantis crew rescued by the supply ship Python, which is later sunk by the heavy cruiser HMS Dorsetshire.
		Having stalked her all day, she was attacked and battered to a standstill by six rapid salvos, which left her deck cargo, the aircraft, on fire, her funnel and mast down, rudder jammed, 12 of her crew dead and the rest in the water.
		Atlantis was no match for a heavy cruiser armed with eight 8-inch guns, and even with both engines fully operational, was slower by about 14 knots, so Rogge knew his only hope was to lure her closer, within range of his guns and torpedoes.
