# Talk:D-class cruiser (Germany)

How can these ships be part of Plan Z when that plan isn't approved until 1939? Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:40, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Good call, that was a mistake on my part. Parsecboy :  Chat   23:50, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

"which mounted eight of their twelve 15 cm guns in dual turrets.[6]"

What does this mean?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Seki1949 (talk • contribs) 06:49, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
That the Scharnhorsts carried eight guns in four twin turrets (and four more in single mounts). I'm not sure how that can be made more clear, but then I wrote it, so it makes sense to me. Parsecboy (talk) 11:01, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
Oh, I thought you were referring to the main battery. You're referring to the secondary armament. Seki1949 (talk) 00:21, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

I know Groner only gives one date for contract award and laid down, but it doesn't say that E was not laid down. Whitley says they were laid down 14 Feb 1934 with yard numbers 125 and 235. and then Construction of the TWO ships on the slips was immediately stopped pending a review of the design. 92.10.214.190 (talk) 10:56, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Do you have the page number? And I assume it's Whitley's Battleships of World War II? I don't have a copy myself. I'd be interested in scans if you have them - there may be more information worth adding. Parsecboy (talk) 13:03, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
