The Admiral Hipper Class was a series of heavy cruisers built for the Kriegsmarine, the navy of Nazi Germany, during the 1930s. This class included five ships: Admiral Hipper, Blücher, Prinz Eugen, Seydlitz, and Lützow. They were designed for speed and firepower, featuring eight 8-inch guns and advanced radar systems. These cruisers played significant roles in naval operations during World War II. The Admiral Hipper and Prinz Eugen participated in the Battle of the Atlantic, while others were involved in various engagements in the Baltic Sea and the Arctic. Their design influenced later naval warfare strategies.
