the Admiral Scheer although a heavier ship was also used in the bombarding of Soveit postions in 1945...........

Actually the Prinz Eugen altough a cruiser is heavier than the Pocket Battleship Admiral Scheer....
Prinz Eugen's displacement is 18400 t
Admiral Scheer's displacement is 15423 t
So the Prinz was almost 3000 t bigger than the Admiral!:)
