The intent was probably to honor Generalfeldmarschall Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher, Furst von Wahlstatt. He was the commander of the Prussian Army at Katzbach, Mockern, Liepzig, and Waterloo, and held the Pour le Merite for heroism as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Red Hussars. He had a British locomotive named after him, as well as a German corvette launched in 1877, an armored cruiser launched in 1908 that was sunk by British battlecruisers at the Battle of Dogger Bank, and an armored cruiser launched in 1937 that was sunk during the invasion of Norway in 1940. Personally, I think that's an amazingly unlucky ship name, but that's just me. John > On 3/15/07, Wang, Kenny LCDR USSOCOM HQ <kenny.wang@socom.mil> wrote:

Given the circumstances of the sinkings, even more so, though lucky for Scheer in the first case. He could have lost more ships, or at least, the Brits might have been more aware of the glass chins of their own before Jutland. Don't know anything about the corvette, though.
