Historical Information

Prinz Eugen belonged to the Admiral Hipper class and was one of the most important heavy cruisers of the Third Reich's navy. Her keel was laid in 1936 and she entered service in 1940. The cruiser took part in several famous operations, including the Atlantic raid together with the battleship Bismarck (Operation Rheinübung). In the final months of the war, she served mainly as a support vessel in the Baltic Sea, helping with the evacuation of German troops and civilians. After the end of World War II, the ship was taken over by the United States and used in atomic tests at Bikini Atoll.
