Tier VI Destroyer Premium

Germany

Karl von Schönberg

A large destroyer design developed by the shipbuilding company Vulcan in 1933 to be used as the basis for the future Type 1934 destroyers. One of the ship's armament options was the installation of 5.9-inch (149 mm) guns. However, the design was never further developed, as the Kriegsmarine High Command chose the Deutsche Werke version for serial construction, which was smaller in size and had lighter armament.
