Prinz Eugen
"Prinz Eugen" left Gotenhafen on 10 October to support the defensive land battles in the vicinity of Memel. In the timeframe 10–12 and 14–15 October "Prinz Eugen" bombarded 28 different targets and expended 1,196 20.3 cm rounds. These actions are supported by the heavy cruiser "Lützow" and the destroyers "Z25", "Z35" and "Z36". While on the return voyage to Gotenhafen on 15 October, "Prinz Eugen" inadvertently rammed the light cruiser "Leipzig" amidships north of Hela. Both ships remained wedged together and were separated on 16 October. "Prinz Eugen" was immediately moved to the shipyard in Gotenhafen where she received a new bow. Already on 14 November Reinicke was able to take her on sea trials.
