Vonn der Tann, Moltke, Goeben, Seydlitz

SMS von der Tann was the first German battlecruiser, and is widely accepted to have been a much more successful design than her British equivalents.
The Moltke class of battlecruisers were a significant improvement on the already impressive von der Tann, the first such ship produced for the German navy.
SMS Moltke was the nameship of the Moltke class of battlecruisers, the second general of battlecruisers built for the German navy.
SMS Goeben was a Moltke class battlecruiser that spent the First World War operating with the Turkish navy, mostly in the Black Sea.
SMS Seydlitz was the fourth German battlecruiser, and was essentially an enlarged version of the previous Moltke class ships.
