25th August 1941 Scharnhorst 1/1 Postcard depicting the 'Scharnhorst'. Ref: 25.08.1941 The sister ship to the Scharnhorst was the Gneisenau. There are some major differences in their design that makes them easy to differentiate. The mast spacing being one of them. This frontal view depicts a ship with no enclosed bridge. The bridge of the Gneisenau was enclosed in 1940 and that of the Scharnhorst enclosed in 1943 (following the Channel Dash). There is no indication as to when this photograph was taken, however, as it was cancelled in 1942, there is a likelihood of it being the Scharnhorst .

They were designed to be an improvement of Type 1936A and B destroyers. Only two of the five ships, Z46 and Z47 , were ever laid down, and work was halted for a year between 1942 and 1943. Construction was constantly interrupted by numerous problems, predominantly due to air raids, material supply delays and a shortage of copper. The two ships that were laid down, Z46 and Z47 , were blown up by Allied troops in 1945. Source: Wikipedia 2026 TYPE 1937J DESTROYERS The Type 1937J destroyer class was a design created by the Kriegsmarine in 1937. The destroyers were designed as ocean-going escort ships, which could attack and defend convoys in the Atlantic, while also being able to operate in tropical climates. The design was abandoned before any ships were ordered or laid down, largely because the range and speed requirements could not be achieved without reductions in armament, however it went on to influence later project studies: the Type 1938Ac, 1938Ad, and 1938B destroyers. Source: Wikipedia 2026 TYPE 1945 DESTROYERS The Type 1945 destroyers were a planned class of destroyers, for the Kriegsmarine, whose design was based upon that of the Type 1936D and E destroyers. Their plan involved a return to steam boilers, which had been replaced by diesel engines in all ships designs after the Type 1942 destroyers. No ships were ever built, as the end of the war was rapidly approaching.
