Description/Overview:
The Prinz Eugen class was a refit of the older and somewhat venerable Admiral Graf Spee class cruiser. The only real difference between the two classes was the replacemnet of the PHELAC turrets with MAULER meson cannons, and the older Type-2 Intersection Drive units with Type-3.
