What is seydlitz cruiser?

The Seydlitz cruiser was a German battlecruiser built during World War I. It was part of the Derfflinger class of battlecruisers and was named after Friedrich Wilhelm von Seydlitz, a Prussian general.

The Seydlitz was launched in 1913 and entered service with the German Navy in 1914. It saw action in a number of major naval battles during World War I, including the Battle of Jutland in 1916.

The Seydlitz was heavily armed, with ten 11-inch guns and twelve 5.9-inch guns. It was also one of the fastest ships of its time, capable of reaching speeds of up to 26 knots.

After World War I, the Seydlitz was interned with the rest of the German fleet at Scapa Flow. However, in 1919 the German sailors scuttled the ships to prevent them from falling into the hands of the British. The Seydlitz was later raised and scrapped in 1929.

Today, there are no surviving examples of the Seydlitz or any other ship from the Derfflinger class. However, there are a number of models and replicas of the Seydlitz that can be seen in museums and naval history exhibits around the world.
