ARTR (Almost Ready To Run)

Accurate scale model of the former German War Navy's battle cruiser of 1936. The Scharnhorst and her sister ship Gneisenau were the first warships to be built which signifi-cantly exceeded the specifications laid down by the Treaty of Versailles. To avoid provoking a conflict with England, the vessels were fitted with the relatively weakarmament of 28 cm guns, although they carried powerful armour and had a high top speed of 31.5 kn.Nevertheless the ships were not legalised until the signing of the German-British Fleet Agreement

In the period up to 1942 the two ships participated in a number of joint operations against merchant shipping, and in support of the German occupation of Norway. After their return to Germany (Operation Cerberus) the Gneisenau lay in dock for the repair of relatively slight mine damage, when she was severely damaged in an aerial attack, and was never recommissioned. In 1945 the vessel was scuttled as part of the blockade of the entrance to Gotenhafen

In December 1943, during an operation (Operation Ostfront) in the North Sea against merchant shipping, the Scharnhorst was sunk by two British battle groups consisting of the battleship HMS Duke of York, three light cruisers, one heavy cruiser and eight destroyers

After protracted research by the Norwegian Alf R. Jacobsen in British, German and Norwegian military archives, and interviews with survivors and surviving dependents, the wreck of the Scharnhorst was located in September 2000 at a depth of around 300 m, at a point around 160 km North of Nordkap
