Ersatz Yorck class battlecruiser
- Ersatz Yorck class battlecruiser
The "Ersatz York" class were a group of three battlecruisers ordered for the Imperial German Navy in 1916. They were a slightly enlarged version of the "Mackensen" class battlecruisers, armed with 15 inch guns. The boilers would have been trunked into a single massive funnel. The three ships were originally ordered as part of the "Mackensen" class but the design was changed when details of the British "Admiral" class battlecruisers became known to German intelligence.
