Read full ship history

A light cruiser and a slightly modified version of her predecessor, cruiser Leipzig. In the first months of World War II, Nürnberg was involved in minelaying operations in the North Sea. She then spent most of her remaining wartime service in the Baltic Sea as a training ship. Over the course of several modernizations, the ship's anti-aircraft armament was significantly strengthened while the catapult and a pair of torpedo tubes were removed. In 1945, Nürnberg was transferred to the U.S.S.R. as reparations.
