Lead ship of the Kriegsmarine's Graf Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers, as represented in the shipgirl-themed game Azur_Lane. Named for German aviation pioneer Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin [1]. Historically, she never saw any use, not being completed as the war began, and with Germany never managing to break far enough out into the sea to have any reason they couldn't just send aircraft from much more easily protected and repaired land bases. As such, her construction was essentially canceled while she was at her last stages, and she languished with nothing but a small maintenance team for most of the war. She also never particularly had any seriously produced carrier-based aircraft to complement her, although some variants of existing German land-based aircraft were designed. She was ultimately ordered to be scrapped by the Germans, captured by the Soviets, and was sunk as a practice target in 1947. Her wreck was discovered in 2006, under 260 ft of water just off Władysławowo, Poland. The historic Graf Zeppelin was also notable for incorporating design flaws the other major powers had already learned to avoid. Graf Zeppelin's anti-shipping armament was 16 single-purpose 15 cm SK C/28 guns in 8 twin-mount casemates, at a time when other countries were arming their carriers with smaller dual-purpose guns to increase their anti-air coverage. These guns were of heavy cruiser size, numbered more than a heavy cruiser would carry for "commerce raiding operations" and would have required the carrier to come into direct surface engagement range to actually use. This was in fact the result of miscommunication with the ship's designer, who intended to save weight by using 4 twin-mount instead of 8 single-mount casemates; the builders thought that he was instead telling them to double the total number of guns.
