Minelaying German Cruisers

Gentlemen,

The Admiral Hipper,Emden,Nurmberg are the ones that I could think off in having large cruisers(not counting auxiliary cruisers) becoming minelayers for a while. Were there any other German cruisers that I didn't mention that carried sea mines for a time being?

Sincerely,

Edward L. Hsiao

hi,

yes, the KÖLN, a K-class cruiser, was used as well (as I said previously, the HIPPER only once).

greetings, the pb
