Z-57

A large destroyer featuring powerful artillery, Type 1945 was one of the final unreleased designs developed by the Construction Department of the Kriegsmarine. Unlike previous projects, the ship was designed to utilize a turbine power plant instead of a diesel one. Armed with cutting-edge artillery systems of her time, the destroyer was intended to effectively combat light surface ships, submarines, and aircraft.
