Not a Cruiser

The only Historically recognized Pocket Battleship, sits at Tier 6, and it's Admiral Graf Spee, but while Historically recognized as a Pocket Battleship, the only in game Battleship feature of that ship are the main guns, because her armor is Destroyer like nearly everywhere, exeption for a small armor belt of 100mm, and her speed if far below same Tier Cruiser speed, while being way faster than most same Tier Battleships. Drake and his "cousin" Goliath, at least to me, express what a Pocket Battleship should be in the game; and while they're treated as Heavy Cruisers in the game, because of their characteristics, big guns, good bow and stern armor, thick deck armor, paired with an even thicker armor belt, and a speed matching that of the majority of the Tier 9-10 Battleships, they can be considered, at least based on one's feelings and the ship look, the only two, non Premium, Pocket Battleships.
