Type 1938 served as the basis for the scout cruiser project ("Spähkreuzer" in German). The ship grew bigger in size and received more powerful armament, allowing it to stand in line with the German cruisers of the interwar period. It was assumed that the scout cruiser would be able to escape from a superior ship and prevail over a weak enemy. In 1941, three cruisers of this class were ordered, but the following year, their construction was suspended.
