SMS Graf Spee.​


This fanfic is inspired by "New Iron Side" by Sheo Darren and
The Indestructible Spirit by SkywalkerT-65 and one of the many snippets of ideas from the Kantai collection forum on sufficient velocity. If any of them wants this story removed, please inform me in the Dm. Kongou is owned by the anime and game Kantai Collection. I do not own anything.

Hello, this is a story about what would happen if the Japanese empire, angered by the delay caused by the worker strike, canceled their order for the battlecruiser Kongou. And the German empire brought Kongou from Vickers_Shipbuilding to satisfy the battlecruiser fleet and to shift the balance of power to the German fleet.

Welcome to the story of SMS Graf Spee, formerly known as the battlecruiser Kongou, the raider of the North Sea.

Please don't kill me if you see some incorrect grammar or missing sentence starters, but if you do, please tell me in the post below.

Let's get the story going dess
If anyone reading this is willing to be a beta for this story, I would appreciate it very much.
Thank you in advance.

So I'm going to try to have longer chapters with more dialogue so the daily update would have to go and get replaced by 7 days for each update. Sorry, I'm trying to improve my writing skill.

25 March 1915

A year now, the war has dragged millions into the field of battle. Many young men would sign up for glory and honor but none would expect their life to be forfeit in no man's land. The success of the Germans at the start now ground to a halt, miles long trench linesstretching from the north of France to Switzerland. But the battle for dominance in the North Sea had just begun.

Cold rainy foggy, what Graf Spee could say about the North Sea she trip as her hall hit another rocky wave.

"Ah" said Graf Spee trip and fell down.

The night was as normal as ever, no sight of convoy, no sight of British ships. It was too peaceful and that put her on edge, only the infinite stretch of water stood around her with no lane in sight.

As the beast of steel sails her way across the North Sea exiting through the Denmark strait. Her raiding career had just started.

"No convoy in sight," her look out said with some sense of unease in his tone.

But as he said it the look out saw a ship sail king in formation in front of them the fog had just let go a few minutes ago now the hunt had begun.

The hunt was a let down but as she started to leave a torpedo stuck her a vengeful sub had just scored a kill as the torpedo exploded sinking the unsinkable lady into the stretch of the Atlantic her career was cut short but was full of battle.

As Commandant Erich Raiden looked toward his ship as she sank beneath the wave, a poetic end for an unsinkable lady, the pride of the battlecruiser fleet sunk like her counterpart, he felt sadness.

When they reached Europe the Albion celebrated vengeance had been fulfilled the butcher of Heligoland had been sunk they celebrated not knowing of a storm brewing in Europe.

For the German it was devastation the unsinkable lady had been sunk but the panic was as the battlecruiser fleet was down to 2 operational battlecruiser against 6 British one as the Markenson class lay down rush out to reinforce the battlecruiser fleet a ship had been name and she had a legacy to carry.

(I'm cutting the back story short to Jutland as I'm running of of idea and I really want to go to modern day stuff and ship girl adventures, so a poetic death that what I'm giving her")

Even today when arguments about why the Graf Spee sunk would be debated the unsinkable lady was a respected ship even 110 year later her battle would be learn and lessons can be told in her story.


So the update schedule it going to be when I fell like it now

Sorrryyyyyyyyyy
