re: #92 Decatur Deb

The Prinz Eugen is on the bottom of the lagoon.

Expended as a target after Operation: CROSSROADS.

Edit: The Prinz Eugen actually capsized due to small leaks that could not be repaired due to radioactivity. Even then, it took three months for the leaks to sink her.

Germany extended Tirpitz’s idea that “the first duty of a [capital] warship is to stay afloat” to the heavy cruisers of the Hipper-class. As a result, Prinz Eugen was better armored and more subdivided internally than any pre-war USN CA.
