About

SMS Emden was a light cruiser of the Imperial Navy. Built between 1906 and 1909, the ship was named after the port city in north-western Germany. She spent most of her service abroad with the East Asia Squadron stationed in the Chinese port of Qingtao. In the early months of the First World War, he became known for his successful cruising warfare in the eastern Indian Ocean and his high-profile, daring ventures. His activities tied up a significant naval force of the Entente and caused considerable disruption to the region's trade. His successful raids were brought to an end by the ill-fated Cocos Island operation. Emden's daring raids and her chivalrous treatment of the crew and passengers of captured merchant ships earned her great respect among the public in both hostile and neutral countries, and despite her short war career she became the most famous warship of the world war.
