[MAGNA]

I'm sure the training would have been fairly good but as McCoy noted the Kreigsmarine wasn't experienced in long stints at sea when compared to the RN and others. The overall effect would have negated the size and armament superiority which showed in the Norwegian campaign.

As to how many you could build if you didn't make the larger capital ships, I would say at a rough guess around 35 - that could be wrong though. They certainly would have been useful but against the larger British navy they probably wouldn't have been around for long.
