1. Yade-class aircraft carrier
The Yarde class included two cruise ships that the German war navy planned to convert into auxiliary aircraft carriers during World War II. The two ships were launched in 1935 under the names "Gneisenau" and "Potsdam" and were operated by Norddeutscher Lloyd in peacetime. After the outbreak of World War II, the two ships were requisitioned by the Navy as transportation vehicles, and in May 1942, plans were made to convert them into aircraft carriers. Although the two ships are not exactly configured, they are fairly similar in size, allowing for the same modifications.
2.Elbe
"Gneisenau" and "Potsdam" were later renamed "Jade" and "Elbe" respectively. If the modification is completed, they will be able to carry 12 Ju 87E "Stuka" dive bombers and 12 Bf 109T fighters. The refit project of the Yad did not start, and the refit project was canceled in November 1942. She returned to service as a troop carrier, but was accidentally sunk by a mine in the Western Baltic Sea.
Work on Elbe's conversion officially started in December 1942, but when work was halted in February 1943, she only had her passenger facilities removed. After the war, she was converted into a barracks ship at Gotenhafen (now Gdynia, Poland) and was captured by the British after the war. She was used after the war until 1976 when she was dismantled. One of her sister ships, the "Scharnhorst" when she was a cruise ship, was purchased by the old Japanese Navy and converted into the escort carrier "Shinyo". The Condor was sunk by the USS Spadefish (SS-411), a US submarine, in the East China Sea.
