Falscher Titel[edit]

Achtung! Bei dem gezeigten Bild des Stapellaufes der Seydlitz muss es sich um ihr Schwesterschiff die Lützow handeln, da laut Siegfried Breyer "Die schweren Kreuzer der Seydlitz-Klasse" die Lützow der einzige Kreuzer der Klasse war, welcher mit einem Klipperbug zu Wasser gekommen ist. --U-koehl (talk) 11:12, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, this is very clearly not Seydlitz. There are contemporary newspaper articles of the actual launch for Seydlitz (seen here for example), and these are clearly different vessels. According to Koop & Schmolke's book Heavy Cruisers of the Admiral Hipper Class, only Lützow was completed with the "Atlantic bow", which means this photo depicts that vessel.
