I decided to put the article at "Battleship Deutschland" because the other two of this class are also under "Battleship", and rather than list her as "Battleship Lutzow" (a name she only held for a few months, before being re-classified as a heavy cruiser), I listed her under her original name. Noel 22:40, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I guess this is particularly true as it's the name ship of the class, as given in the 'Pedia. Noel 22:45, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

how come this link: http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/German_cruiser_L%C3%BCtzow (from this page) http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/List_of_Kriegsmarine_ships

points to German pocket battleship Deutschland???

these two are totally unrelated! One was a "Deutschland" renamed into Luetzow, the other one, launched as Luetzow, was sold to USSR. AlexUki

I split German_cruiser_Lützow into a dismabig to the two ships. GraemeLeggett 13:59, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

She/He/It

Alrighty, I don't know about you folks, but usually ships are referred to as "she," not "it." So far as I know. It might be that the Germans did things differently, so I'm not sure if I should change it. I'll let folks debate it here and figure it out. Enjoy. --Phant 22:11, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This doesn't make sense

"As retaliation the sister ship Admiral Scheer bombarded Almería killing 19 civilians and destroying 35 buildings ([1]). The dead were first brought to Gibraltar and buried there but the bodies were exhumed on Hitler's orders and accompanied the Deutschland back to Germany for a large military funeral with Hitler attending". Obviously it wasn't the Almeria civilians who were brought to Germany. I am editing the passage accordingly. L'omo del batocio 07:40, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

References in the Wehrmachtbericht

I removed the References in the Wehrmachtbericht section. Quoting primary source propaganda is not an appropriate way to write a Wikipedia article, and a mere mention such as "The armored ship "Deutschland", which has conducted trade war in the Atlantic waters since the war had broken out, returned home some time ago" is more of a brief news bite than any sort of honor. –dlthewave ☎ 22:22, 29 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Remove: this is just an OKW press release, i.e. propaganda. --K.e.coffman (talk) 02:29, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Being referenced in the Wehrmachbericht was considered the same as being mentioned in despatches in the UK. It's not simply a news bite or propaganda. It was those things, but it was also more than that. Parsecboy (talk) 12:13, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

German cruiser Deutschland → German heavy cruiser Deutschland – WP:PRECISE there's also German training cruiser Deutschland and SMS Deutschland (1874) (armored cruiser); the current title should point to the disambiguation page Deutschland (disambiguation) -- 65.94.170.207 (talk) 08:48, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request. —Nnadigoodluck🇳🇬 17:57, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Goes against WP:NCS. Arguably German training cruiser Deutschland should be retitled German schoolship Deutschland as code 440 is so defined in the ship type listing, alternatively training should be omitted from the title and be dabbed by year of launch. Furthermore we use set index pages not dab pages when ships have the same name Lyndaship (talk) 18:15, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Lynda - the proposed name is contrary to the naming conventions. Parsecboy (talk) 18:47, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose If any article needs its name changed its German Training Cruiser Deutschland. I would go with Lynda’s suggestion, or alternatively “German Training Ship Deutschland”. This article, however, is fine with the name it has. Anasaitis (talk) 16:00, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
