The elegant lines of KMS Prinz Eugen, armed with eight 8in. guns, mounted in four twin turrets. From a distance she looked similar to KMS Bismarck, which caused problems for British gunnery directors during the battle of the Denmark Strait.

KMS Prinz Eugen

I'm not sure that KMS was a proper designation for the ships of Nazi Germany. It's my recollection they just went by their names. Folks?
