In history, Schánhorst was in service in early 1939, and the second ship Gneisenau served several months earlier than Schánhorst. This time node was quite early. In history, the new ships with strong combat effectiveness were Dunkirk, which was in service in April 1937 and Strasbourg, which was in service at the end of 1938. The main ships of other countries, due to the Washington Naval Treaty, were the earliest new battleships. Veneto, who served until 1940.

Schánhorst has some first-mover advantage in history, but this first-mover advantage is not so stable, because the main opponent of the German Navy is Britain. Although Britain did not have new battleships to serve at this time, there was no problem with the old battleships facing Schánhorst. At this time, the British fast battleships included three battleships, the Hood battlecruiser and the reputation-class battlecruiser. These three main battleships are more than enough to deal with two Schánhorst, because the main combat areas are in the North Atlantic. The characteristics of the North Atlantic are high winds, high waves, and harsh sea conditions. In many cases, the fast design is difficult to achieve.

Another problem is that the German main ships in World War I, except for those who survived Operation Rainbow, all the German-class battleships were compensated to other countries, leaving Germany with the German-class front dreadnoughts, which made Schánhorst the first model of the real battleships obtained by Germany after World War I, which brought about a huge problem, because the navy is different from other services in this regard.

The core of the navy is warships, and warships have construction cycles. The shortest construction cycle of the Casablanca-class escort aircraft carrier during World War II was several months. This is still Casablanca, which has little hull and has problems with the standard combat effectiveness of many merchant ships. The construction cycle of the main battleship is very long. The larger the tonnage, the longer the construction cycle of the ship with a stronger combat effectiveness.

During World War II, the United States served seventeen Essex-class aircraft carriers, which was very fast, but many of these Essexes started before the Pacific War. In this way, the United States also experienced a vacuum period of aircraft carriers. For a period of time, the United States only had two aircraft carriers, namely Enterprise and Saratoga, in the Pacific direction. For a period of time, the U.S. Navy either had an enterprise against the entire joint fleet of an island country or a Saratoga against the entire joint fleet of an island country. Of course, because the company is famous, the company is more famous in this regard. Saratoga is much worse in this regard. In order to solve the problem of aircraft carrier shortage, the United States borrowed an aircraft carrier from the United Kingdom to respond to the emergency.

This is the characteristic of the navy. The construction cycle of naval warships is not as long as the army's aircraft and air force tanks is calculated based on the number of production in a month. The construction cycle of the navy's large main battleship warships is calculated based on years. There are too many things happening in a year in the war, which makes the navy extremely dependent on the stock of the institution when the war breaks out, which is different from all other services.

During World War II, the navies in the main world basically reflected this point. The navies of the United States and Britain had great advantages during World War II. This advantage is often reflected in this inventory. The navies of a certain island country were also very strong before the war, so they also had a sense of presence in World War II. This is the direct reflection of naval inventory, and Germany had this problem.

The German Navy was dismembered after World War I. The early dreadnought that could have been left behind because of Operation Rainbow became a former dreadnought, which left the German Navy without stock. The number of warships built by the German Navy during World War I and World War II was not very large. The largest warship built before the Mustache came to power was the German-class pocket battleship. After the Mustache came to power, although he relied on the construction of the Schánhorst-class battlecruiser to break through the restrictions of the Versailles peace treaty, at this time, the German navy's main battleship was only two, Schánhorst-Gneisenau, and the German-class front dreadnought was basically better than nothing.

Even later, Bismarck had only four ships, and the most important thing was that when Bismarck sank, Tirpitz had not yet entered service. In other words, Germany had never had four battleships in service in World War II. Three main ships with many problems faced the British Royal Navy. Although the British Royal Navy had to spend a lot of energy to deal with the Italian Navy in the Mediterranean, the ones that stayed were more than enough to deal with the German Navy.

In fact, many warships of the Royal British Navy were often in a state of waiting for opponents during World War II, because the slow main ships were not very effective, and the shortage of the fast main ships in the years at the beginning of World War II was indeed very large. However, as King George V-class battleships successively served, the problem of insufficient number of fast main ships was basically solved. At this time, Italy was in a hurry to participate in the war and did not prepare for the war. After the consumption of the first few naval battles, there was no enough oil to ensure the navy went to sea to fight. The German navy's strength was not as strong as the Italian navy, and the threat to Britain was mainly submarines. The German navy's surface fleet had never had an effective threat to Britain.

The problems that Schanehorst faced after his return were similar to those faced by Germany at the time. She was an SSS-class historical battleship but was the main battleship of the SSS-class historical battleship with weak battle line capabilities. You should know that the battleship cruisers were to be on the battle line. This was the case in Britain, which invented the battle line, and Germany was also the same. However, the battle line capabilities of the Schanehorst were really not strong. Schanehorst had tried his best to avoid falling into battle line battle line. In most cases, the battle line tasks were left to the four sisters of Iowa. Needless to say, the battle line capabilities of the four sisters of Iowa were.

Although Schonhorst now does not have the intention of confronting the three major forces, this does not mean that if he does not go to the battle line, the problem of his own attack power will be exposed. This is the biggest trouble for Schonhorst now. He dare not run around in the face of the powerful sea monster, Schonhorst. This is different from the confrontation between the three major forces at that time. It is a fatal behavior to run around in the face of sea monsters, especially powerful sea monsters. The main task of the fast main ship is not to run around.
