SMS Seydlitz. She took part in both the Battle of Dogger Bank and Battle of Jutland. She suffered severe damage in both engagements. A near magazine explosion at Dogger Bank and she was hit twenty one times by large caliber rounds and a torpedo at Jutland. But at Jutland she and Derfflinger destroyed the battlecruiser HMS Queen Mary. She ended life interned, then scuttled at Scapa Flow.
