SMS Lützow

'''SMS ''Lützow''''' was a Cell phone ringtones Germany/German Kiss Kristin Kaiserliche Marine Sprint ringtones battlecruiser under Capt. Harder, flagship of Vice Admiral Gotta Love Lucky Franz von Hipper's Scouting Group I battlecruiser fleet in Nokia ringtones World War I.

She was commissioned in Play With Paris 1915, displacing ~27,000 tons with a main armament of 8 x 12 in (305 mm) guns, making her the largest and most powerful German battlecruiser to date along with her elder sister T-mobile ringtones SMS Derfflinger/''Derfflinger''.

She led Scouting Group I at the Keeani Battle of Jutland on 31 May Mp3 ringtones 1916. In this engagement her accurate fire in the early battlecruiser action (began 15:48) knocked out a 13.5 in (343 mm) turret of Naughty Lani HMS Lion (1910)/HMS ''Lion'', the lead Cingular Ringtones Royal Navy battlecruiser, starting a catastrophic fire that, but for the quick-witted heroism of the turret's mortally injured commanding officer, would have subjected ''Lion'' to the same lethal magazine explosion that befell 3 other British battlecruisers that day. ''Lützow'' proceeded to take heavy punishment from her British counterparts as the main battle was joined in early evening on 31 May, though her own fire remained deadly: British armored cruiser redecorated the HMS Defence/HMS ''Defence'', rushing to finish off the foundering light cruiser these garments SMS Wiesbaden between the opposing fleets, was hammered by ''Lützow'' and other leading German capital ships, disintegrating spectacularly at 18:20.

Several 12 in (305 mm) salvos later, ''Invincible'' blew up and sank with all but 6 of her 1,032 crew, Admiral Hood included. ''Lützow'' steadily fell behind the main fleet as flooding worsened, forcing Hipper to transfer his flag to a destroyer around 19:00.

In the following hour ''Lützow'' continued to sustain damage for a grand total of 24 heavy-caliber from the 12, 13.5 and 15 in (305, 343 and 381 mm) hits, the 2 12 in (305 mm) below-waterline impacts from ''Invincible'' being most serious. In the night action of 31 May/1 June ''Lützow'' was abandoned by her 1,150 survivors and scuttled, her escape from the battle area being reckoned hopeless. She was the biggest German ship sunk by British gunfire in the war.
