Gustav-Julius Maerker — Germany · Tier VIII · Destroyer

The Type 1937 destroyer was designed as a ship with a large action range. These ships were meant to be able to defend or attack convoys in the Atlantic, as well as operate in tropical climates. The 1937J variation was used as the basis for the project. In April 1938, however, the design works were discontinued since combining the required combat power, range, speed, and reliability in one hull turned out to be an impossible endeavor.
