Scharnhorst

Scharnhorst was a battleship built for Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine. She can be alternatively described as a battleship or battlecruiser. She was laid down on 6/15/1935, launched on 10/3/1936, and commissioned on 1/7/1939. During Scharnhorst's first operation, she sank the auxiliary cruiser HMS Rawalpindi. She and her sister engaged the British battlecruiser Renown, and sank the aircraft carrier Glorious, as well as her escorts Acasta and Ardent. During that, Scharnhorst achieved one of the longest-range naval gunfire hits in history. Scharnhorst's final battle was in 1943.
