This is the only available German (heavy) cruiser in Forgotte Hope Secret Weapon. The Prinz Eugen was an Admiral Hipper class and was the third als last heavy cruiser commissioned by the Kriegsmarine. In 1941, during Operation Rheinübung, she and the Bismarck leave Norway and travel to the antlantic when both meet the British heavy cruiser HMS Hood (51), the British battleship HMS Prince of Wales (53) and some other British ships on May 24, 1941, wich leads to the Battle of the Denmark Strait. Both survive the battle with damage but with victory. In February 1942, after a period spent in Brest, the Prinz Eugen together with the battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, successfully passed through the English Channel on her way back to Germany. Shortly afterwards, while en route to Norway she was torpedoed and damaged by a British submarine off Trondheim. The ship was not ready for service until the beginning of 1943, and then used for training purposes in the Baltic. In 1944-1945, the Prinz Eugen was used for shore bombardment off the Baltic coast against the advancing Soviet troops to cover the evacuation of refugees. The ship surrendered to the British at Copenhagen in May 1945, and was handed over to the Americans. In July 1946, she survived two nuclear tests in Bikini Atoll. Towed later to Kwajalein Atoll and capsized on December 22, 1946.
