Yes. One of the most eye-catching warships ever constructed, in my opinion. The "clipper" or "Atlantic" bow just sets it off and makes it look very much like what it is - a ship built to go in harm's way.

It would have REALLY gotten interesting if the Kriegsmarine had been able to refit SCHARNHORST and GNIESENAU with the 15” rifles that they had planned to install. Nine 15” guns on ships that fast would have given the Brits fits.
