The Gentleman Hilfskreuzer
7 भागो जारी The Pinguin was a German auxiliary cruiser (Hilfskreuzer) which served as a commerce raider in World War II. The Pinguin was known to the Kriegsmarine as Schiff 33, and designated HSK 5. The most successful commerce raider of the war, she was known to the British Royal Navy as Raider F. The name Pinguin means penguin in German.
Pinguin was one of the first wave of raiders sent out by the Kriegsmarine, sailing on 15 June 1940 under the command of Fregattenkapitän (later Kapitän zur See) Ernst-Felix Krüder.
Slipping through the Denmark Straits, Pinguin made for her patrol area in the Southern Ocean.
In 10½ months at sea she accounted for 28 ships, totalling 136,000 tons (GRT).
Her most successful coup was the capture, on 14 January 1941, of most of the Norwegian whaling fleet in Antarctica, totalling three factory ships and 11 whalers. These were sent back as prizes to Europe, arriving in Bordeaux, occupied France in March 1941.
Although the ship's luck would ran out as it was finally sunk in May 1941 by the British Heavy Cruiser Cornwall.
But what if this ship was turned into a shipboy and transferred into the world of Azur Lane. Would it get it's revenge against the Royal Navy? Or betray Ironblood?
