The SMS Nürnberg was a small cruiser of the Imperial Navy . She was the fourth and last ship of the Königsberg class and named after the small cruiser SMS Nürnberg of the same name , which was lost in the sea battle on the Falkland Islands .
After her testing, the Nuremberg came to the II Reconnaissance Group and was used in the outpost and security service in the North Sea . In October 1917, she took over the escort for transporters at " Operation Albion ", the occupation of the Baltic Islands . On November 17, 1917, she took part in the second naval battle near Helgoland , where she received a few light hits and had one dead and nine wounded. After a thorough overhaul of the shipyard from March to May 1918, mainly mining operations followed until the end of the war.
After the end of the war, the Nürnberg was interned in Scapa Flow . Your scuttling on June 21, 1919 failed. The British were able to loosen the chain from the anchor (slip) and put the ship on the ground in shallow water. It was recovered and subsequently used as a target ship . As such, the Nürnberg was finally sunk on July 7, 1922 near the Isle of Wight .
