The “'''pocket battleship'''” was a German warship officially classified by weight as a heavy cruiser (''panzershiffe''; "armored ship"), but with the firepower of a [[battleship]].  The design was meant to comply with the terms of the Versailles Treaty (which allowed post-WWI Germany only a couple of battleships over 11,900 metric tons) while providing the German Navy with more capital ships.

In all, Germany built and operated three pocket battleships:  the ''Deutschland'' (later renamed the ''Lutzow''), the ''[[Admiral Graf Spee (heavy cruiser)|Admiral Graf Spee]]'', and the ''Admiral Scheer''.  Each had a displacement of 11,700 tons, a main armament of 6 11-inch guns, and diesel powerplants driving two propeller shafts.  All saw service in [[World War II]].<ref>German Pocket Battleships, by Gordon Williamson, Osprey Publishing, 2003</ref>
