Prinz Heinrich (Single Ship)

GER Cruiser Pre-Dreadnought Tier 2 Power 19.36

Improved Armored Cruiser Design (Single Ship) - Commissioned 1902, decommissioned 1920. Improved design: smaller (8,887 tons vs. 10,690), faster (20 knots vs. 18.5) than Fürst Bismarck. 2× 24cm + 10× 15cm guns. Demonstrated trade-off: reduced main armament (2× vs. 4× 24cm) for higher speed and better maneuverability. First German cruiser to achieve 20 knots. Last German armored cruiser with 24cm guns (later classes adopted 21cm standard). Survived WWI, scrapped 1920.
