== Description ==
These two ships were the last of a group of six Grosser Kreuzer that were tightly defined by length. They were largely repeats of the Prinz Adalbert class but slightly lengthened to accommodate more boilers for greater speed. Both were active during the war in different theatres. Yorck sank with the loss of 336 crew members after blundering into a minefield. It was planned to convert Roon into a seaplane carrier but this was never carried out and she was scrapped in 1920.
