Graf Zeppelin class aircraft carrier

Graf Zeppelin class aircraft carrier

The Graf Zeppelin class aircraft carriers were two German Kriegsmarine aircraft carriers laid down in the mid-1930s as part of the Plan Z rearmament program.

However only the Graf Zeppelin was launched in 1938, but was never completed, and later sunk as a target.

A second ship, designated "Flugzeugträger B", was scrapped before launching.
