The German heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen was the famous companion of the famous battleship Bismarck in 1941, but would go on to serve the Kriegsmarine until the end of the war. Transferred to the US Navy as a war prize, she would end her days at Kwajalein Atoll in the Pacific after surviving two nuclear explosions.

Originally intended to be the third of the Yamato Class Battleships, the Shinano was the largest aircraft carrier ever built until the US nuclear carriers in the 1960s. She also remains the largest ship ever lost to a submarine in combat.
