What type of ships did Raeder advocate for?
Submarines
Aircraft carriers
Battlecruisers
Destroyers
Answer
Battlecruisers were the preferred ship type advocated by Raeder, the Grand Admiral of the Kriegsmarine. These warships combined the firepower of battleships with the speed of cruisers, making them ideal for long-range operations and hit-and-run tactics. Raeder believed that a fleet centered around battlecruisers would give Germany the edge in naval engagements and allow them to challenge the dominant British Royal Navy.
