K. Schönberg

Ship Overview

All Ships

 K. Schönberg — German • Premium • Tier VII • Destroyer.

A large destroyer design developed by the shipbuilding company Vulcan in 1933 to be used as the basis for the future Type 1934 destroyers. One of the ship's armament options was the installation of 5.9-inch (150 mm) guns. However, the design was never further developed, as the Kriegsmarine High Command chose the Deutsche Werke version for serial construction, which was smaller in size and had lighter armament.

Karl von Schönberg was released as the final reward of the Silent Orca campaign, which took place from November 18th to December 16th, 2024.
