The ship was built in four years by the Hamburg shipyard Blohm & Voss and put into service on August 24, 1940. 138,000 hp gave the ship a top speed of 30.6 knots. The model was constructed largely true to life according to shipyard plans on a scale of 1: 200. The construction time is significantly reduced by the plastic hull.
