ww2dbaseLight cruiser Nürnberg entered German naval service at the end of 1935. During the night of 12-13 Dec 1939, while operating off the British North Sea coast with her sister ship Leipzig, they were torpedoed by British ship Salmon. She was placed in repair as a result until May 1940. She served as a patrol ship in the Baltic Sea and off Norway in the North Atlantic until the end of the war. She was surrendered at Copenhagen, Denmark when the war ended. She was claimed by Russia as spoil of war and was officially listed on Russian roster on 5 Nov 1945, and on 5 Jan 1946 she was renamed to Admiral Makarov. She served as the flagship of the Russian 8th Fleet until 1955. She served a few years as a training cruiser in the late 1950s before being decommissioned in Feb 1959.
