Kaiser-Class Ocean Liners

Here is the Kaiser-class liners of Norddeutscher Lloyd!

The first ship, Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse was completed in 1897. She was both the largest and fastest ship in the world at the time, and the first ocean liner with 4 funnels. She was originally the only ship of her class, but she proved popular enough for the company to order 3 new ships, starting with the 2nd ship, Kronprinz Wilhelm. The last 2 ships of the class, Kaiser Wilhelm II and Kronprinzessin Cecilie were built to modified designs. All ships, except for Kronprinzessin Cecilie, won the Blue Riband during their careers. The 4 ships served successful careers until the outbreak of WW1. Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse and Kronprinz Wilhelm were converted into auxiliary cruisers for commerce raiding, while Kaiser Wilhelm II and Kronprinzessin Cecilie were laid up in New York. Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse was less successful, being sunk by HMS Highflyer during the Battle of Río de Oro. In 1915, Kronprinz Wilhelm made a stop in Virginia after supplies started running out. Her and her crew were interned, and once the United States entered the war in 1917, the 3 Kaiser-class ships were seized by the US Navy and converted into troopships. The 3 ships, in order, were renamed Von Steuben, Agamemnon, and Mount Vernon. They would serve as troopships for the rest of their careers and were decommissioned after the war. Von Steuben was scrapped in 1923, but Agamemnon (later renamed Monticello) and Mount Vernon remained in reserve until their scrapping in 1940.


Includes skins for troopship colors, alternative funnel colors, and white hull colors. Kronprinzessin Cecilie has black funnel tips by default (for her Olympic disguise), so use the skins for her normal funnels.


Has bodygroups for funnels, glass, lifeboats, rigging, names, scrollworks, sheerlines and anchors.
