The German aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin
was the lead ship in a class of two carriers of the same name ordered by the
Kriegsmarine of Nazi Germany. She was the only aircraft carrier launched by
Germany and represented part of the Kriegsmarine's attempt to create a
well-balanced oceangoing fleet, capable of projecting German naval power far
beyond the narrow confines of the Baltic and North Seas. The carrier would have
had a complement of 42 fighters and dive bombers.
Construction on Graf Zeppelin began on 28
December 1936, when her keel was laid down at the Deutsche Werke shipyard in
Kiel. Named in honor of Graf (Count) Ferdinand von Zeppelin, the ship was
launched on 8 December 1938, and was 85% complete by the outbreak of World War
II in September 1939. Graf Zeppelin was not completed and was never operational
due to shifting construction priorities necessitated by the war. She remained
in the Baltic for the duration of the war; with Germany's defeat imminent, the
ship's custodian crew scuttled her just outside Stettin in March 1945. The
Soviet Union raised the ship in March 1946, and she was ultimately sunk in
weapons tests north of Poland 17 months later. The wreck was discovered by a
Polish survey ship in July 2006.
