the ships were broken up in the early 1920s the lead ship of the class was named for august von mackensen a prominent military commander during the war in response to the mackensen class ships the british royal navy laid down the admiral class battlecruisers all but one of which would eventually be cancelled the sole survivor hms hood was completed after the end of the war the design of the mackensen s was a much improved version of the previous derfflinger class the most significant improvement was a new more powerful 35 cm 13 8 in gun compared to the 30 5 cm 12 in gun of the earlier ships the mackensen class ships also featured more powerful engines that gave the ships a higher top speed and a significantly greater cruising range the mackensen design provided the basis for the
