Leipzig
In contrast to the preceding ships, cruiser Leipzig underwent notable modifications to her power plant, incorporating a central shaft driven by diesel engines only and bringing all turrets back to the centerline. With the outbreak of World War II, the ship participated in minelaying and patrols. In December 1939, Leipzig was struck by a torpedo fired by British submarine Salmon. During 1941 and 1942, the cruiser provided support during the Baltic offensive, but in October 1944, she collided with Prinz Eugen and suffered severe damage.
