GERMAN WARSHIPS
POCKET BATTLESHIP RENAMED DEUTSCHLAND NOW LEUTZOW, NAME WANTED FOR NEW SHIP. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 10.40 a.m.) BERLIN. January 25. Since the name Deutschland is required for a larger ship Herr Hitler has ordered that the pocket battleship Deutschland be renamed the Leutzow. The Leutzow is at present the name of a heavy cruiser, which also will be renamed. The High Command confirms that the Deutschland, “which was engaged in trade war in Atlantic waters since the outbreak of war,” has returned to a home port. It was recently reported from Stockholm that Admiral Raeder’s visit to Kiel and Wilhelmshaven was connected with the launching of a battleship, for which the name Deutschland was presumably reserved.
