Model Descriptionįrom the world of COBI comes a model of the legendary German aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin. In 2006 the ship’s wreck was located 55 km north of Władysławowo. Later, in 1947 it served as a target ship and was sunk in the Baltic Sea. Then, in the summer of 1945, the USSR decided to salvage the damaged ship and it was refloated. Finally, with Germany’s defeat imminent, the ship’s custodian crew scuttled her just outside Stettin in March 1945. She remained in the Baltic for the duration of the war. Graf Zeppelin was not completed and was never operational due to shifting construction priorities necessitated by the war.

She would have had a complement of 42 fighters and dive bombers. Named in honor of Graf (Count) Ferdinand von Zeppelin. This was due to the withdrawal of all large units after the battle in the Barents Sea. On the order of Adolf Hitler, work stopped in 1943, despite the progress of construction at over 90% completed. Its construction began on 28 December 1936 in Kiel. In fact, it is the only aircraft carrier in German history. This left the Nazis with one aircraft carrier, the lead (and only) ship in its class – the Graf Zeppelin. What’s more, the Nazis scrapped one of them. Therefore, they built only two in the end. German naval architects ran into difficulties due to lack of experience in building such vessels. In the mid-1930s, the Germans planned to build four aircraft carriers which would form the Graf Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers.
