SMS Seeadler

SMS Seeadler ("Sea Eagle") was a German cruiser, part of a new breed of warships created by the new Imperial Navy. To protect the Empire's growing overseas possessions and colonies, the navy needed ships seaworthy enough to venture out into far off oceans and have the coal supply to reach far off destinations. The result was the new class of small cruisers, or Avisos, of the Bussard class, rated Class IV cruisers.
