The ship was handed over to the United States for further use as war booty after the German surrender in 1945. Afterward, the ship operated very differently from the American warships. So much so that it was always necessary to use a large number of German sailors. That was why the US Navy decided to put her on Operation Crossroads. Which was the Bikini Island nuclear test. She remained unsinkable in the face of two nuclear bombs. Despite this outcome, the US Navy still learned many valuable experiences from her designs.

For this build, I have chosen to depict Prinz Eugen as she was serving in the US Navy in 1945.

I used 1:350 Prinz Eugen and Bismarck(2020ver, second hand unfinished) from the Trumpeter Company. Due to the age of Eugen's production. So many details are missing and wrong. So the Bismarck kit can just make up for this shortcoming. This build also introduced a large number of etched pieces and brass gun barrels.

This re-release video. I optimize montage, text commentary, and music. So that it can have a better viewing experience. For the last almost three months. I have been under tremendous pressure. This has led to a recent decline in video quality. I sincerely hope viewers here will forgive me. In the meantime, I will ensure that all future videos are posted in high quality.
