From The Dreadnought Project
Jump to navigationJump to searchTwo Pillau class light cruisers were completed in 1914 and 1915.
Having been ordered for Russia, they incorporated a heavier armament than Germany had typically been fitting to her light cruisers: 15-cm weapons on a par with the 6-in guns being used on some British light cruisers.
