Trumpeter 06710 German Navy Aircraft Carrier DKM Peter Strasser

Peter Strasser was an unfinished German aircraft carrier, the keel of which was laid in 1938 - the launch never took place. The ship was to be 262.5 meters long, 31.5 meters wide, and had a full displacement of 33,500 tons. The maximum speed of the aircraft carrier Peter Strasser would oscillate around 34-35 knots, and its main armament would be 50 on-board aircraft, e.g. Me-109 T or Ju-87 R.

Peter Strasser was approved for construction as the Flugzeugtrager B, with its twin vessel Graf Zeppelin (the so-called Flugzeugtrager A) in 1934. However, work only started in 1938 at the Kiel shipyard. The ship was supposed to enter service in June 1940, but work on it was stopped in September 1939 and was later scheduled for scrapping, a process that began in February 1940 and lasted four months. The name "Peter Strasser" was unofficial, but that was probably the name of the launched aircraft carrier.
