Weser — Germany Tech Tree Tier VI Aircraft Carrier.

Seydlitz, an Admiral Hipper-class cruiser, was built in Bremen. In June 1942, when the ship was 95% complete, the construction was halted—the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor highlighted the need for aircraft-capable ships. The nearly completed cruiser was designated for conversion into an aircraft carrier and renamed Weser. The work commenced in December 1942 but ceased half a year later. The ship was then towed to Königsberg. Her hull was blown up in January 1945 as the Red Army was going to take the city.

Pros

High secondary battery efficiency
High AA defense efficiency
Fast torpedoes with below average damage and low arming distance available
Above average plane speed

Cons

AP only rockets and dive bombs
Planes have a small HP pool
