	Maximilian von Spee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However Spee was wary of the Allies' strength, especially the Imperial Japanese Navy and the Royal Australian Navy — in fact he described the latter's flagship, the battlecruiser HMAS Australia, as being superior to his entire force by itself.
		At the Battle of Coronel, off the coast of Chile, on 1 November 1914, Spee's force engaged and sank two British armored cruisers commanded by Sir Christopher Cradock: HMS Good Hope and HMS Monmouth were outclassed in both gunnery and seamanship.
		In 1917 a Mackensen-class battlecruiser was named Graf Spee in his honour, but construction of the ship had not been completed by the time of the Armistice in November 1918, and it was subsequently broken up.

	Admiral class battlecruiser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Admiral-class battlecruisers were a group of four British Royal Navy battlecruisers designed near the end of World War I.
		The loss of British battlecruisers at the Battle of Jutland in 1916 led to changes in the design.
		At the same time the US was starting on the Lexington class battlecruisers (later to become the Lexington class aircraft carriers) and South Dakota class battleships in her bid to create a navy without equal.

	Mackensen History
		The ships of the Mackensen class were the climax of German battlecruiser development during World War I. In principle, they were enlarged versions of the Derfflinger class battlecruisers with bigger guns (35 cm instead of 30,5 cm) and better armor protection.
		When it got known that Britain was building battlecruisers with 38 cm guns (Renown and Repulse), the last three ships of the Mackensen class were changed to a modified design, using this gun size, too, which lead to the Yorck class.
		Mackensen was launched but construction was stopped when the ship was 14 months before completion and broken down after the war.

		SMS Graf Spee was a First World War German Mackensen class battle cruiser, named after Vice Admiral Maximilian Graf von Spee.
		However, when it became known that Britain was building battlecruisers with 38 cm guns (HMS Renown and HMS Repulse), the design of the last three ships in the class was modified to accommodate 38 cm guns to be known as the Yorck class.
		Work on Mackensen, launched 1917 at Blohm and Voss in Hamburg, was stopped 14 months before completion and the ship was broken up in 1921.

		Although described as Battlecruisers, the Mackensens were in reality the ultra fast battleships of their day.
		Mackensen was designed with a twelve-inch armor belt with up to thirteen inches of armor on her turrets.
		After the war consideration was given to converting the first three ships of the class into diesel powered tankers (10 knots) of 18,500 tons but the plans were abandoned for lack of funds.

	Battlecruisers Of World War II
		The battlecruiser was not designed to slug it out with the heavyweights, but (as Muhammad Ali, a pretty famous heavyweight in his own right, once said) to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.
		Battlecruisers successfully did these things during WW I. What they were not intended to do was join the battle line itself and shoot it out with enemy capitol ships.
		This put the Scharnhorst class at a disadvantage compared to the similar size British battleships of the King George V class, and when Scharnhorst encountered the Duke of York and her escorts off Northern Norway late in December 1943, she was overcome by the British battleship's larger guns.

		Armor protection was again heavier than her British contemporaries, but Mackensen still would have made 28 knots using 90,000 horsepower.
		Though Mackensen and Graf Spee were launched, little or no work was done on any of the ships after 1917 due to a lack of material and manpower.
		The Mackensen class was originally set to be seven strong, but the last three ships were redesigned prior to being laid down and are commonly considered the Ersatz Yorck class.

		But then, a battleship and a battlecruiser may be of the same cruising acceleration without being the same in combat acceleration (after subtractions for weapons and maybe shields).
		Battlecruisers were precisely not supposed to be contained in battle formations, as this removed their strengths (speed) and stressed their relative weaknesses (firepower and protection).
		Suffice that battleships should fight in groups, a battlecruiser ought to be deployed independently or in concert with agile smaller vessels.

	German Navy Battleships
		German battlecruisers were fitted with 28cm (11") guns only until the Derflinger class of 1914, which carried 30.5cm (12") guns; the first British battlecruisers carried 12" guns, and from 1910 on they carried 13.5" or larger guns.
		Some people have classified the Scharnhorst class as battleships, because their protection was much better than that on British battlecruisers, but we think of them as battlecruisers in the German small-gun tradition.
		Raiding German battlecruisers are intercepted by a larger squadron of British battlecruisers.

		Although Hood's design was modified in light of the loss of the battlecruisers HMS Queen Mary, Indefatigable, and Invincible (flagship of Rear Admiral Sir Horace Hood) at Jutland, and she was modernized twice, her magazine protection remained one of her weak spots and she carried only 3-inch deck armor.
		Throughout the 1920s Hood was assigned to either the Atlantic or Home Fleets, and she completed a ten-month world cruise with Renown in 1923.
		Although a number of theories about the exact cause of her loss have been advanced, it is widely believed that plunging fire from Bismarck penetrated her weak deck armor to ignite one of her magazines.

	BCG Type 582 Mackensen class Battlecruiser
		It was initially listed as the XS-400 class escort battleship but in reality it is the Mackensen class battlecruiser and is named for a World War One design for a German Battlecruiser that was never completed.
		These sleek Battlecruisers are also some of the largest trimaran ships ever built but still shares many design similarities with the Type 512 frigates and the later Type 612 destroyers.
		Even though not its primary role, the battlecruiser is armed for anti-submarine warfare with a set of torpedo tubes on either side of the vessel.

		The new Admiral Class battle cruisers were in effect closer in armour protection to the recently built and much acclaimed Queen Elizabeth Class battleships than to preceding battle cruisers.
		Eventually, as it became clear that Germany would not complete the Mackensens which they had under construction, the other three ships of the class were cancelled.

		Notes: An improvement on the preceding KÖNIG class, with a direct jump from 12" to 15" main battery guns (without the intervening 13.8" guns as had occurred in the battlecruisers), due to the German staff learning of the British plans for the 15"-gunned QUEEN ELIZABETH class.
		Actually, the BAYERN class most closely resembles the ROYAL SOVEREIGN class, with the same caliber and layout of guns and very similar standards of protection.
		Following World War I, BADEN was not among the ships to be surrendered under terms of the Armistice, but was substituted for the incomplete battlecruiser MACKENSEN, and arrived at Scapa Flow on 14 December 1918.
